Face UV Representation

(Available only in Platinum)

Default UI Menu: Tools/Face UV Representation

Ribbon UI Menu:

Face UV representation is used to get a UV representation of the selected ACIS face as a separate object

Steps to create Face UV Representation:

1. Select Face UV Representation tool
2. Click on the face of the 3D object you want to create Face UV Representation of.
3. Place UV Representation on the desired location in the drawing.

UV representation has 4 properties: U scale, V scale, U period count, v period count

Local menu option:

Use Periodicity: It allows control UV representation, using periodicity of face equation.

Surface on Face

(Available only in Platinum)

Default UI Menu: Tools/Surface on Face

Ribbon UI Menu:

Surface on Face is used to get 3D map surface from selected UV representation and 2d contour, which lies on the UV representation.

Creating Surface on Face:

1. Select "Surface on Face"
2. Select the Face UV representation object
3. Select the closed 2D entity lying on the Face UV Representation
4. Select/deselect closed 2D entity lying on the Face UV Representation or click Finish.

Local Menu:

Thickness: Defines the thickness for 3D map surface

Offset: This defines the offset of the surface from the object.

The resulting object is not a ACIS body. It is a TC surface.
