Grouping Crease Angle Segments

  1. In the FeatureManager tree, right-click the mesh BREP body and click Segmented Imported Mesh Body .
  2. Click Pin at the top of the PropertyManager.
    Dynamic Help displays pop-up tooltips when you move the pointer over controls. Clear it if you do not want to display detailed help.
  3. Under Segmenting, click Crease Angle and Select Bodies . In the graphics area, select the mesh BREP body.
  4. Click Show Preview.
  5. For Crease Angle Tolerance, move the slider to lower the tolerance.

    As you decrease the tolerance, the preview detects more angular faces on the top of the mesh model. If you decrease the tolerance too far, the software detects the facets on the cylinders that are located at the bottom of the mesh BREP body.



  6. Click .

Next, you group planar and cylindrical segments.

Planar faces on the sides and bottom of the mesh BREP body are not detected when you segment crease angles, because the faces are filleted and have no sharp angles.
