DMSELECT command
Selects edges and faces of 3D solids or surfaces based on their geometric properties.
Description
Allows to select a group of faces, which form a geometric feature, such as a protrusion, a depression, a blend, or a blend network. You can combine different options of this command, e.g. select all blends, which radius is less than given value. Select the faces or edges of which characteristics will be considered as pattern for the selection set.
Options
- Selection
- Allows to select a set of subentities:
- sUbset
- Only faces/edges in the subset will be selected.
- Sample
- The preselected set of faces/edges should be considered as samples, of which the geometric characteristics (length, area, radius) will be used as parameters for the selection.
- sEed
- The preselected set of faces /edges should be considered as seed elements for the selection of features such as blends, blend networks, protrusion or depressions.
- Attribute
-
- Radius
- Selects faces/edges by radius.
- Area
- Selects faces by area.
- Length
- Selects edges by length.
- Type
- Selects faces/edges by their geometric type.
- Exclude short fillets
- Excludes short fillets from the selection, which might be useful when working with imported sheet metal parts.
Then choose between:
- Current sample
- To use the value of the sample face/edge.
- Value
- Type a value in the Command line.
Note: : In case of a non-zero value, you may filter entities as Less/Less or eQual/Equal/Greater or eQual/Greater.
- Relation
-
- Coincident
- Selects coincident faces/edges.
- Parallel
- Selects parallel faces/edges.
- coAxial
- Selects coaxial faces/edges.
- Smooth
- Selects the smooth side of a part.
- Primitive
-
- Face
- Selects faces.
- Edge
- Selects edges.
- Loop
- selects edge loops.Note: The preselection will determine the result. It is necessary to select a set of connected faces. The command will then select all edges, which describe the border of the selection set; internal edges will be skipped. If the result contains multiple loops and you want only one, the preselection should contain a set of connected faces one edge of the desired output loop. If none of the loops of the selection set contains the selected edge, the output will be empty.
- edge Network
- Finds an adjacent edge which has similar convexity for a given input edge.
- feaTure
-
- Protrusion
- Selects protrusions.
- Depression
- Selects depressions.
- Blend
- Selects blends.
- blend Network
- Selects blend networks.
