Spherical displacement

This command explodes the entities selected by a spherical rotation movement of three degrees of freedom around a fixed point (origin point of the displacement).

Creation stages:

Click the icon or select Explosion > Spherical Displacement ... from the drop-down menu.

Select the origin point of the displacement.
Specify the displacement coefficient.
Select the group or entities to move.

The displacement distance is the result of the length between the origin point and the center of the part to displace multiplied by the coefficient.

Available Options:

Hide:

The box allow to hide selected entities during the use of the command, to be able to select other entities more easily, especially those who were behind.

Reference Part:

- You can use one reference for your move:

If, as a result, the reference part is moved, exploded entities that use this item as reference will also be moved.

- To remove an entity from this field, when the field is active, click in the empty space in the graphic area.

Ignore Dependencies:

If the item moved is used as reference by another displacement, selecting this cell will turn off this reference.

The item is therefore moved without moving items using it as reference.

Selection of entities to displace:

If the explosion group is a subset, the rotary picking on the screen allows you to go up and own the tree from the picked entity. This selection logic is modifiable by the Part, Assembly to Part and Part to Assembly modes.

Modifications:

To modify an existing spherical displacement, open the operations tree and unfold the explosion of the group to modify. Then select the Displacement operation then edit it by right-clicking.
