Summary

The CP_3DFFILTER command in CADPower enables users to filter 3DFaces in their CAD drawings based on various geometric properties and attributes. This tool streamlines the management of complex 3D geometry, improving accuracy and efficiency in 3D modeling workflows. It is fully compatible with BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander.

CADPower -> Selection Tools -> Selection Tools -> 3DFaces based on properties

Key features include:

1. Filter Criteria:
   • Horizontal (Projected) Area: Filter 3DFaces based on their horizontal projected area.
   • Slope (Actual) Area: Select 3DFaces by their true 3D slope-based area.
   • Horizontal (Projected) Perimeter: Identify 3DFaces based on the projected length of their perimeter.
   • Slope (Actual) Perimeter: Filter 3DFaces using their actual 3D slope perimeter.
   • Duplicate Vertex: Locate 3DFaces that have duplicate vertices, which can cause inconsistencies in models.
2. Property-Based Filtering:
   • Define specific criteria using a length or perimeter value to isolate 3DFaces.
   • Supports logical comparison operators (<, <=, >, >=, =, /=) for precise filtering.
3. Geometric Insights:
   • Analyze and manage 3DFaces based on derived geometric parameters, making it easier to handle complex 3D surfaces.
4. Efficient Workflow:
   • Quickly isolate and manipulate 3DFaces that meet specific geometric conditions, saving time in model refinement.
5. User-Friendly Interface:
   • Intuitive dialog box for easy configuration of filter criteria.

Benefits:

• Enhanced Modeling Efficiency: Streamline the management of 3DFaces in complex 3D models.
• Improved Accuracy: Detect and rectify inconsistencies like duplicate vertices.
• Versatility: Handle both slope-based and projected geometric properties for comprehensive filtering.
• Universal Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD, and ARES Commander, ensuring broad usability.
