This command allows you to create a perpendicular shape, a tangent shape, or a shape with a given angle with respect to the perpendicular of a face.

 

Creation Stages / Use:

 

Click on the icon or choose the command Surface > Normal... from the drop down menu.

 

  1. Select the face creation mode:

 

By Profile: The face is created using a profile (border edge, edge from an impression, projection of a sketch, etc.), located on the reference face.

  1. Select reference faces.

  2. Select the profile.

By Isoparametric: The face is created using isoparametric curves from the reference face.

  1. Select the face.

  2. Select U or V and its factor (between 0 and 1).

 

  1. Enter the length of the face to create.

  2. Choose the type of surface to create:

 

Tangent: The face is created on the profile or curve that is isoparametric and tangential to the reference face.

Perpendicular: The face is created on the profile or curve that is isoparametric and perpendicular to the reference face.

Angle: The face is created on the profile or isoparametric curve with a given angle with respect to the perpendicular to the reference face.

 

  1. Validate with the button.

 

 

The profile must absolutely be the reference face.

 

 

To select all tangent faces, use the rotative picking.
