  2. Select the geometric entity.( Axis or 2 axes, point).

  3. Validate by clicking .

 

Profiles to repeat

Repeated profiles by an axial symmetry

 

 

Repeated profiles by 2 axes symmetry

Repeated profiles by a point symmetry

 

Available Options:

 

The Display parameters section allows to define the position of the pattern visualization.

 

Select the starting point.

 

 

It is also possible to select a 3d pattern in following cases:

If the Projection mode is activated, TopSolid checks if projected transformations are valid.

If the Projection mode is deactivated, the 3d pattern must be "plane" (its displacement stays in a same plane parallel to the sketch plane).

 

 

Modifications:

 

It is possible to modify the repetition by editing it from the contextual menu.
