Plane symmetry

 

 

 

This command allows you to indicate that the symmetrical part is equal to itself when forming symmetry in an assembly. If the symmetrical part is not equal to the original part (left part and right part), use the Mirror Part function.

 

Creation stages / Use:

 

Click the icon or select the Tools > Symmetries > Plane symmetry... command from the drop-down menu.

 

  1. Select Symmetry Plane or click "+" to create one.

  2. Validate.

 

In this case, select these 2 symmetry planes.

Symmetry Result: The symmetrical part is equal to the original part.

Symmetry Result: The symmetrical part is the symmetry of the original part. You must use the Mirror Part command.

 

 

The position of the symmetry plane is important when forming symmetry. It is recommended to place it in the middle of the part.

 

 

Modifications / Additional information:

 

The plane can be modified or deleted in the popup menu from the Symmetries folder in the entities tree.
