Create polygonal surfaces that can easily be converted into NURBS surfaces. PolyNURBS combines the ease and simplicity
of polygonal modeling with the precision and flexibility of NURBS, allowing you to quickly create free-form solid
geometry that is smooth and continuous.
This tool has two modes: Push/Pull allows you to move faces, changing the size or shape of your design. Move Feature allows you to translate and rotate a feature (a set of faces such as a hole, pocket, or protrusion). This
tool only works on objects without construction history.
Measure dimensions, analyze curvature, check for continuity and watertightness, analyze the draft, detect undercuts,
assign tags to entities, edit and visualize streamlines as static images or animations, create design iterations on
the fly, and assign variables.
Dimension a line, edge, bounding box, angle, and radius/diameter in order to create objects which must fit predefined
dimensions. You can also insert a general annotation to label the parts of your model.

Note: This tool only works on objects without construction history. To collapse the
construction history of a selected object, press

Push/pull faces
In the guide bar, select Operation:
Push/Pull.
Select a face.
Do one of the following:
Drag the arrow.
Click the arrow and enter a
Distance.
In some cases, such as a round, push/pulling a
face moves the adjacent faces too. To move a
single face in a group such as a round, in the
guide bar select Step
, and then drag the
arrow.
Repeat the steps above to push/pull additional faces
on the same or a different object.
Translate and rotate a feature
A feature is a set of faces such as a hole, pocket, or
protrusion.
In the guide bar, select Operation: Move
Feature.
Select a face of the feature that is along the
boundary edge.
Note: The feature can
intersect only one face of the object.
The Move tool opens automatically. Use the
Move tool to rotate and
translate the feature.
Right-click and mouse through the check mark to exit, or double-right-click.
