Prompts you in the command bar:
Select edges of a 3D solid, surface or region: (Select an edge.)
Entities in set: 1
Select edges of a 3D solid, surface or region: (Select more edges or press Enter.)
Specify deformation value or set [Base point/Direction/additional Faces]: (Specify the deformation or choose an option.)

Description |
|
Specify Deformation Value |
To specify the deformation do one of the following:
The edges are rotated around an axis passing through the base point (3) in the deformation direction.
Dynamics (left) and final result (right) |
|
Base Point |
Allows to specify the base point. The deformation axis passes through the base point. Prompts you: Specify new deformation point: - (Specify a point in the drawing.) |
|
Direction |
Allows to specify the direction of the deformation axis. Prompts you: Select axial entity or define direction by [2Points/Xaxis/Yaxis/Zaxis] <2Points>: (Choose an option or press Enter to define the direction by specifying two points in the drawing.) |
|
Additional Faces |
Allows to select additional faces to be deformed, in addition to ones adjacent to the selected edge(s). Prompts you: Select additional deformable faces: - (Select a face.) Entities in set: 1 Select additional deformable faces: - (Select more faces or press Enter.) |
