![]() Solid groups can be defined as well, making selection and visibility changes simple for multiple objects. In this case, editing of one object causes all its linked copies to be updated. If the link between a part and assembly is defined, any changes made to the part file are reflected in the assembly file and vice-versa. VariCAD also provides tools for assembly support. Boolean trees are very easy to edit.ģD Tools – Assemblies, Groups, Parts etc. Predefined operations like hole drilling, face milling, groove milling and edge beveling/filleting are also available. Boolean operations have options for automatic trimming, or automatic removal of subtracted volumes. Solids can be added or subtracted, thus forming Boolean trees representing real mechanical parts. More complex tools include rotation blending between two profiles, lofting between a circle and rectangle, and creation of helical surfaces. Solids can also easily be created by profile rotation, extrusion, or lofting. ![]() VariCAD provides a library of basic 3D solids (prism, cylinder, cone, etc.), which are easily modified by editing the original profile or parameters. Models created in 3D are easily converted into conventional 2D documentation. The 3D approach is usually more intuitive than 2D drafting. ![]() ![]() Designing in 3D is generally more “natural,” in that it closely represents actual parts and assemblies. You can start by creating a 3D model and then use it to automatically create drawings files, or you can draw only in 2D. ![]()
