MoveFace

The MoveFace command moves a polysurface face.

The surrounding joined surfaces are adjusted to accommodate the new face orientation.

Faces on relatively simple polysurfaces such as boxy planar shapes can be moved to adjust things like wall locations in a building or planes in a mechanical part.

Steps

Select a face.

Pick a point to move from.

Pick a point to move to.

Notes

●

The surrounding joined surfaces are adjusted to accommodate the new face shape and orientation.

●

All adjusted faces must be either planar or easy to stretch (extruded surfaces in the direction of stretch).

●

Holes in the adjusted faces generally do not move or stretch.

Command-line options

DirectionConstraint

None

The face can be moved any direction.

Normal

ToBoundary

The face is moved until the side surfaces intersect the boundary object and the face itself is replaced by a trimmed section of the boundary object.

DeleteBoundary=Yes/No

Determines whether or not the boundary is deleted after the move.
