3DFaces to polyface mesh: GT_3DF2PFACE – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_3DF2PFACE command in GeoTools allows users to convert multiple 3D faces into a unified polyface mesh, making it easier to manage and manipulate complex 3D surface models. This tool is particularly useful in terrain modeling, architectural design, and 3D visualization, where a structured polyface mesh is preferable over separate 3D faces. GeoTool -> Conversion Tools -> Conversion Tools -> 3DFaces to polyface mesh Key Features Include: Benefits: With GT_3DF2PFACE, users can efficiently convert fragmented 3D faces into an optimized polyface mesh, improving design precision and 3D model performance.

3DFaces to Polylines: GT_3DF2PL – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_3DF2PL command in GeoTools creates 3D polylines from the vertices of selected 3D face objects, enabling better manipulation and editing within BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander. GeoTool -> Conversion Tools -> Conversion Tools -> 3DFaces to polylines Key Features Include: Benefits: This tool ensures seamless conversion of 3D face data into editable polyline formats, improving workflow efficiency in 3D modeling, terrain analysis, and CAD drafting.

Convert 0 Lengths to POINTs: GT_0LEN2PNT – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_0LEN2PNT command in GeoTools converts all zero-length lines, polylines, and 3D faces into point objects, making them easier to identify and manage in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander. GeoTool -> Conversion Tools -> Conversion Tools -> Convert 0 Lengths to POINTs Key Features Include: Benefits: This tool is essential for cleaning up redundant data that may arise from CAD imports, modeling errors, or 3D face processing, ensuring a more efficient drawing environment.

Change Properties By Layer to By Entity: GT_BL2BE – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_BL2BE command in GeoTools allows users to convert object properties from ByLayer to ByEntity, ensuring that individual entities retain their own unique color, linetype, and other properties, independent of their assigned layer. This tool is especially useful when layer-based property control needs to be overridden for specific objects. GeoTool -> Conversion Tools -> Conversion Tools -> Change Properties By Layer to By Entity Key Features Include: Benefits: With GT_BL2BE, users gain greater control over object properties, making it easier to customize, highlight, and differentiate elements in complex CAD drawings.

Convert Polylines to Splines: GT_PL2SPL – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_PL2SPL command in GeoTools allows users to convert standard polylines into smooth splines, making it easier to create curved and freeform designs. This tool is particularly useful for architectural, GIS, and engineering applications, where a smoother, more organic shape is required instead of segmented polylines.
