Selection of bottom edges only is unpredictable and will likely return undesirable paths in many situations however, it will return correct paths in some situations. After doing so, you will need to manually set the Final Depth for the operation. It is best to select the top edges (highest edges) for the selection.The Profile operation is capable of profiling open-edges (one or more continuous edges that do not form a loop as seen from the Top View).Advanced properties will be located here, if any. Make additional adjustments to the operation by modifying the operation's properties in the Data tab of the Property View. You have to adjust the properties, especially the final depth, carefully, a mistake might destroy your work pieceĪ Start point can be enabled from the Operation tab in the Tasks Window editor, using a location defined in the Property View → Data → Start Point. Important Note: Path Profile doesn't take care of other details of the object. Click the OK button or the Cancel button to create or cancel the operation.Optionally press the Apply button to preview the operation with the current settings.Activate the Operation section by clicking on its tab, and adjust the operation's settings as desired.See the Usage Notes section below for additional information on best practice for profiling open-edges. NOTE: This operation has received improvements to allow functionality on some open-edge (non-loop) selections. If edges are selected, then the result is a Profile Edges operation.If faces are selected, then the result is a Profile Face operation.If no features are selected, the command defaults to a Contour operation, contouring the entire model.Activate the Base Geometry section by clicking its tab, and select features from the Job model.Select the Path → Profile option from the menu.There are several ways to invoke the command:.The entire Job Model serves as the input for the Operation, regardless of whether any Body Geometry is selected when the Contour command is invoked.Ī Profile Face operation creates a simple contour path from one ore more selected faces of an object.Ī Profile Edges operation creates a simple contour path from selected edges. It creates a simple external contour cut of complex 3D Part-based objects. It offers three operations that were handled by separate tools in previous versions.Īll operations create objects that are made to be part of a Path Job.Ī Contour operation is the default. The Profile tool creates a contour operation based on selected features of the model.
