Summary
The CP_3DF2PL command allows users to create a 3D polyline from the vertices of selected 3DFACE objects. This command is particularly useful for converting surface representations into linear, vertex-based polylines for further editing or analysis.
CADPower -> Conversion -> Polyline/3DFace/Mesh -> 3DFaces to polylines
Key features include:
- 3DFace to Polyline Conversion: Generates a 3D polyline by connecting the vertices of the selected 3DFACE objects, preserving the spatial configuration of the original geometry.
- Layer Placement Options:
- Source: Places the resulting polyline in the same layer as the original 3DFACE.
- Current: Places the polyline in the current active layer.
- Specify: Allows selection of a specific layer for the polyline.
- Layer Selection Dialog: Use the “Select” button to easily choose a layer, with the selected layer’s name displayed.
- Deletion Option: Optionally delete the original 3DFACE objects after conversion, keeping the drawing organized and free of redundant geometry.
The CP_3DF2PL command is an efficient tool for transitioning from surface-based 3DFACE objects to vertex-based polylines, aiding in detailed 3D modeling and analysis workflows.
