Parametric Shapes

In the Asset Library, you will find a variety of parametric shapes under the Shape tag. You can enable additional handles by choosing the Edit Shape option on the Inspect Menu.
Grab the inside to change the inner radius
Grab the outside to change the outer radius
Grab the top or bottom to extend
Grab the ends to extend the arc of the section
You can also change how the shape is constructed from the Inspector:
Facets | How many facets to subdivide the curved surface into. |
Grab the outside to change the outer radi
Grab the inside to change the inner radius
Grab one of the edges to change the sweep angle (either latitude or longitude)
You can also change how the shape is constructed from the Inspector:
Facets | How many facets to subdivide the curved surface into. |
Grab the spline knots to control the curve of the wall
Grab the top to change the height
Grab a side to change the thickness
Grab the spline knots to control the curve of the pole
Grab with two hands to change the thickness of the pole
Grab the spline knots to control the curve of the stairs
Grab the sides to change the offset from the curve
Grab the top of the top stair to change the height of the stairs
Grab the top of the bottom stair to change the height of each step
Grab the from of a step to change the step length
Sometimes it can be useful to make more detailed edits than the parametric handles allow. Converting a shape to a sketch allows you to edit vertices, edges, and faces directly and also allowing cutting new faces and extrusion of faces.
To do this, select the shape and go to the Inspector panel on the WristPad and click on the Convert to Sketch action.
Note that once converted to a sketch, none of the parametric handles will be available.
