About the Symmetry Recognition Feature User Interface
The
Symmetry Recognition tab consists of commands, tabs, and shortcut menus. Select two surfaces/surface regions, or one surface/surface region and a symmetry plane, and click
Flexible Modeling >
Symmetry Recognition to open the
Symmetry Recognition tab.
Shortcut Menus
Right-click the graphics window to access shortcut menu commands.
• Seeds/Seed and Symmetry Plane—Activates collection of the surfaces, surface regions, and the symmetry plane that define the Symmetry Recognition feature.
• Curves and Datums (1st Seed)—Activates collection of the curves and datums to include in the Symmetry Recognition feature.
Commands
• Symmetry type menu—Sets the symmetry recognition in relation to the selected surface.
◦ Identical—Recognizes a surface or surface region that is identical to the selected surface or surface region, and the intersection edges between the surfaces and the surrounding geometry are identical.
◦ Similar—Recognizes a surface or surface region that is identical to the selected surface or surface region, but their intersection edges with the surrounding geometry can vary.
• Surfaces and symmetry plane collector—Shows the two surfaces/surface regions, or one surface/surface region and a symmetry plane, that define the Symmetry Recognition feature.
Tabs
