A new feature proposition .

[Fig sign]

Hello ,All !

Those of us , who use C-Hook colrsurf.dll know that it is very useful in many cases.

What I want to have is the option to do this with other entities like lines ,splines ,arcs and etc .

A dream feature is to have an option to do this with solid faces !

 

 

BTW , what about my avatar ?

plasttav,

 

If you don't care about being a guinea pig here's a chook I just put together. It should do what you asked for. I don't have solids, so I don't know how it will handle them, but try anyways.

Do you mean color each feature (hole, fillet, pad, ...)?

add 50$ for solids (entire solids)

[bryan314]

I don't have access to the solids module.

 

But the selection function is set to all_entities so you should be able to select and change the color for individual solids.

If you have V9, is there any way you could use System Config... CAD Settings... Attributes... EA Mgr? It looks pretty versatile.

Bryan !

I tried your C-hook and it works great.

 

May be somebody thinks that it is c-hook without any need at all , but I have a lot of cool things

to do with it.

For example create a spline offset it 100 times

and with the use of this c-hook color it with 5 colours.

It will separate them by color.

Now you mill every color with a different depth .

This sort of task I do a lot.

It is good for analyze ,for the cases of overlapping enteties and enteties one inside another and many other cases.

I've had that attitude in the past but have found that it comes back and bites you on the xxxx. Just this week I had to use a requested chook I put together a few months ago. I though I'd never have the 'situation' it required but it happened. The chook save me a bit of time fixing it.

 

If I may ask, what are you cutting that you offset a spline a 100 times and cut them? Relief maps?

Jay ! Thank you for an indication of the mentioned C-hook .I waited for it such a long time and had not known about it existence !

It can solve 50 % of problems .

Sometime the entities are not only overlapping ,but also intersecting one another ,branching from one point ,partly overlapping or simply at such a little distance so that in any way the Bryan`s C-hook helps a lot .It is in case of a bad wireframe drawing wich I sometimes get from one of our clients without getting a model.(It is a matter of 1 telephone call but they are afraid to insult a client !}

Mostly I can draw the part 5 times faster then to edit this @#$% !

Bryan .

The stuff I mentioned is with relation to optics.

 

Bryan ! Crlength ,keeplevs ,Menu,trimboth ROCKS !
