Page 2: Reflect (Reflect Model)
- Figure 1 - Reflect Interface
Purpose: This interface is used to reflect or mirror selected nodes about a plane. The reflection plane can be specified in a number of ways:
- 1. Normal to global x, y, or z directions
- 2. Normal to a general vector defined by 2 nodes
- 3. A plane defined by 3 nodes
The position of a reflection place can be defined by picking a node or keying in the coordinatess of a point on the plane. Reflections can be performed on selected nodes or a copy of the nodes. The copy option will retain the selected nodes at their original location.
Controls:
- Plane: Select plane of reflection
Pick node as pt. of reflec - Pick a node as the origin of the reflection
- Node ID: Enter a node ID as the origin of the reflection (Hit enter to accept)
- XYZ: Enter x,y,z coordinates as the origin of the reflection
- Node1 - Enter first node ID to define plane
Node2 - Enter second node ID to define plane- Node3 - Enter third node ID to define plane
Perform reflection for the selected nodes
Accept the reflect operation
Reject the reflect operation
