Kinematic Operations

Kinematic operations involve the process of generating new objects by extruding a two-dimensional shape along a defined path within three-dimensional space. This technique is fundamental in modeling, allowing the transformation of flat designs into complex 3D forms through guided movement.

Kinematic operations create new objects by stretching a 2D shape along a path in 3D space

  • Revolve solids and surfaces: Creates a revolved solid or a smooth surface by rotating the specified contour carefully around a defined axis.

  • Extrusion solids and surfaces: Creates a solid body or a surface of extrusion by extending an object along a specified vector in a precise and controlled manner.

  • Spiral solids and surfaces (with holes): Creates a spiral solid or a surface based on the specified clip, incorporating the designated number of holes and defined spiral parameters for precise customization.

  • Pipe solids and surfaces (with holes): Creates a solid body or a surface by extruding one object along the path defined by another object, resulting in a three-dimensional shape.
