Rotation

Rotation feature makes rotation of a selected shape.

To create a Rotation in the active part:

  1. select in the Main Menu Part - > Rotation item or

  2. click rotation.icon Rotation button in the toolbar

Two rotation algorithms are:

by axis and angle

by center and 2 points

Rotation by axis and angle

Rotation by axis and angle property panel

Input fields:

  • Main objects panel contains shapes to be rotated. Shapes are selected in 3D OCC viewer or object browser; Transformation of COMPSOLID subshapes is prohibited.

  • Axis defines the axis of rotation. The vector is an edge or axis selected in 3D OCC viewer or object browser;

  • Angle defines the angle by which the object is rotated.

TUI Command:

model.addRotation(Part_doc, [shape, ]axis, angle)
Parameters

  • part – The current part object.

  • list – A list of shapes in format model.selection(TYPE, shape).

  • object – An axis in format model.selection(TYPE, shape).

  • real – An angle.

Returns

Rotated object.

Result

Result of operation is a rotated initial shape.

Rotation by center and points

Rotation by center and 2 points property panel

Input fields:

  • Main objects panel contains shapes to be rotated. Shapes are selected in 3D OCC viewer or object browser; Transformation of COMPSOLID subshapes is prohibited.

  • Center point, Start point, End point define 3 points or vertices selected in 3D OCC viewer or object browser. Rotation axis will pass through the Center point and will be orthogonal to a plane defined by three points. Rotation Angle is the angle between two vectors directed from the Center point to Start point and End point.

TUI Command:

model.addRotation(Part_doc, [shape], point1, point2, point3)*
Parameters

  • part – The current part object.

  • list – A list of shapes in format model.selection(TYPE, shape).

  • object – An axis in format model.selection(TYPE, shape).

  • object – Center vertex.

  • object – Start vertex.

  • object – End vertex.

Returns

Rotated object.

Result

Result of operation is a rotated initial shape.
