User Guide: Altair Inspire Studio 2021.1.1

What's New
Discover new features and enhancements.
Get Started
New to Inspire Studio? Learn the basics here.
Tutorials
Start using Inspire Studio with our interactive tutorials.
Sketching
Create and edit a 2D sketch curve. A sketch curve is any "wire" entity such as a line, rectangle, circle, or arc.
Curves
Create and edit 3D curves by extending, rebuilding, intersecting, splitting, and projecting the shapes.
Surfaces
Create and edit 3D surfaces and solids by creating primitives or editing existing curves and surfaces.
PolyNURBS
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.
Modify
Create new objects by manipulating and modifying source objects.
Direct
Quickly modify objects that are not a part of Construction History.
Deform
Deform one or more objects with respect to an axis.
Analysis
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.
Dimensions
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.
Drawing
Create detailed 2D drawings of the selected parts of a complex 3D model from multiple perspectives.
- Sheet
  Create a drawing sheet. You can select a predefined paper size or define a custom width and height. You can also specify the projection type, frame type, and frame margins.
- Table
  Create a title block to display information about your drawing.
- View Set
  Create view sets of the selected parts of a model. Each view set displays a parent view of the selected part in the orthographic view and child views in the orthographic or isometric view.
- Section View
  Create a section view of selected objects in the scene, cut across a plane which you can reposition.
- Detail View
  Enlarge part of an existing view to show details.
- Add Dimensions
  Add linear, angular, radial, and ordinate dimensions, as well as annotations. You can change the dimension style to meet industry or project standards.
- Print
  Print your drawings.
- Preferences
  Define preferences for drawing sheets.
- Export DXF/DWG
  Export a drawing as a .dxf or .dwg file.
Rendering
Adjust the materials, environment, and properties of objects in the scene to create a photorealistic image.
Animation
In Inspire Studio you can animate an object or group and the camera. There are two methods of animation: key frame animation and path animation.
Die Design
Create a draw die in Inspire Studio that you can export to Inspire Form to perform a stamping simulation.
Custom Plug-ins and Scripts
You can use C++ and Python to add custom operations and file formats.
Keyboard Shortcuts and Mouse Controls
Learn keyboard shortcuts and mouse controls for common operations.
SpaceMouse Support
Inspire Studio supports 3Dconnexion's SpaceMouse.
