New Capabilities of the Sweep Operation
The C3D Modeler kernel includes the sweep operation (creating a surface by moving a curve along a path) as its core functionality. It is one of the oldest and most refined 3D modeling operations. Still, a customer requested us to expand the capabilities of the sweep operation. We were asked to enable...

Direct Modeling Updates in C3D Modeler: Changing Fillet Radius and Replacement of Faces Function
New direct modeling commands in C3D Modeler. The direct modeling tools edit imported geometry which has no history tree. The first new command is ‘Change the fillet radius’. With this function, the user selects a fillet edge and specifies the new fillet radius. The faces adjacent to the fillet are...

C3D Modeler Release 117978: Changes to the Color and Optical Properties Attribute
In previous versions of the C3D Modeler kernel, the color of the body and its child topological entities (faces, edges, vertices) was stored in the MbColor attribute. This attribute uses the four-component RGBA color representation. However, 3D applications use more properties to render objects. If ...

C3D Modeler Polygonal Modeling Tools for Reverse Engineering in KOMPAS-3D
Reverse engineering is the rebuilding or copying of an existing product. The data source for reserve engineering is usually a scanned polygonal model. In this paper, we will talk about working with such models. The handling of polygonal models in KOMPAS-3D v20 and earlier versions has been quite ...
