Geometry Analysis and Repair - Intergraph Smart 3D - Administration & Configuration - Hexagon PPM

The Geometry Analysis and Repair task of Intergraph Smart 3D allows you to analyze, check, and repair geometry data before using that data to create an imported plate system in the Molded Forms task. You can run the Geometry Analysis and Repair commands on data that will be used in "early design" activities as well as data that will be used to detail and manufacture the model.

This task is different from other Smart 3D tasks in that it does not create or save objects in the database. You should not refresh your workspace unless you want to clear the screen. The Workspace Explorer does not appear in this task, and there are no modify commands in this task.

You start the Geometry Analysis and Repair task by clicking Tasks > Geometry Analysis and Repair. The Geometry Analysis and Repair task has the following commands:

Select Command

Used to select objects.

Process Geometry Data Command

Checks and repairs data.

Reference Curves Command

Creates reference curves.

Advanced Surface Operations Command

Performs operations on surfaces such as stitching, exploding, splitting, rebuilding, and merging data.

Advanced Curve Operations Command

Performs operations on curves such as splitting, merging, rebuilding, and exploding.

Transform Data Command

Scales, translates, rotates, and mirrors data.

Compare Data Command

Compares surface data before and after correction to ensure that the differences are within acceptable tolerances of the original data.

Import IGES Command

Imports 3D geometric data from a file in the IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Standard) format. This command is on the File menu.

Import ACIS Command

Imports 3D geometric data from a file in the ACIS .sat format. This command is on the File menu.

Export IGES Command

Exports 3D geometric data to a file in the IGES format. This command is on the File menu.

Export ACIS Command

Exports geometric data to a file in the ACIS .sat format. This command is on the File menu.

Geometry Analysis and Repair Setup Command

Specifies settings for the Geometry Analysis and Repair task, including logging, display, and style options. This command is on the Tools menu.

Show Control Points Command

Displays the control points and the control point mesh for the selected data. This command is on the shortcut menu available when no command is active and you right-click a graphic object in this task.

Show Normals Command

Displays the surface normals for the selected data. This command is on the shortcut menu available when no command is active and you right-click a graphic object in this task.

Show Vertices Command

Displays vertices for the selected data. A vertex is a point in three- dimensional space. This command is on the shortcut menu available when no command is active and you right-click a graphic object in this task.

Hide Command

Removes all control points, normals, and vertex data from the display. This command is on the shortcut menu available when no command is active and you right-click a graphic object in this task.
