Mesh Model

1. Mesh Model
Select a target mesh model to generate the pattern holes.
 
When a target mesh model is selected and pattern shape is added, the target mesh model and the pattern shape model are subtracted as a mesh model by the boolean operation.
 
2

Pattern Shape

Select a pattern shape to add.
 
The circle pattern has a 10 mm diameter as scale 100, so you can create a circular hole of the desired size by adjusting the scale.

Choose Operation

4. Choose Operation
 
Choose how to create pattern holes
Fill Patterm : Select the face of the pattern hole area and automatically create pattern holes in the selected face
Single Pattern : Create pattern holes by adding them one by one at the selected mouse position
 
5

Select Face

5. Select Face
 
Select the face to create pattern holes in the Fill Pattern mode
 
6

Array Option

6. Array Option
 
Option to array pattern holes irregularly by the mesh vertex position or to array them regularly by specified space values.
 
7

Span Length

7. Span Length
 
Specify the spacing between pattern holes in the Fill Pattern mode
 
8

Depth

8. Depth
 
Adjust the position of depth by the slide bar In Edit mode
The pattern shapes adjust the depth on small curvature surfaces to create through holes.
 
9

Scale

9. Scale
 
Adjust the size of the selected pattern shape.
The scale does not apply in the longitudinal direction.

Add/Finish

10.  Add/Finish

After completing Add Finish, select the added shape and click the Edit button to edit the selected shape.
The selected pattern shape is displayed in brown color.
 
Apply modification such as move, rotation, change of depth and adjust of scale in edit mode.
Move : Move the sphere shape in the center of the selected object with the right mouse button (move along the surface).
Rotate: Rotate with the mouse right button clicked on an object face another except the sphere shape on the selected object (rotate around the sphere)

Delete

Delete the selected pattern shape.
 
After completing Add Finish, select the added pattern shape and click the Delete button to remove the selected pattern shape.
The selected pattern shape is displayed in brown color.
 
14

Run

Run to generate the mesh model with pattern holes.
The new mesh model is created by Boolean subtraction between the target mesh model and the pattern shapes.
 
The vented pattern mesh model is created by adding subscripts such as _P0, _P1, etc. to the selected model name and displayed in the project tree.
