DmPushPull

Works with BricsCAD (Windows) Pro and Platinum BricsCAD (Linux) Pro and Platinum

Adds or removes volume from a solid by moving a face or an attached closed 2D contour.

Accessing the Command

command bar: dmpushpull

menu bar: Model | Direct Modeling | Push/Pull

toolbar: Direct Modeling |

: dmpushpull

Prompts you in the command bar:

Select faces or closed 2D contours to push/pull: (select one or more faces on the same or different solids and or attached closed 2D contours; press and hold the TAB key to select hidden geometry. Press Enter to stop selecting geometry.)

The selected geometry is edited dynamically. Click to define or type a value in the dynamic entry field. Press the TAB key to display an alternative dynamic entry field (e.g. absolute distance instead of relative distance). 2D contours must lie on a face of a solid.

Command Options

Option	Description
Planar faces	The faces are moved, thus adding or removing volume from the solid(s). The value of the movement vector displays in the dynamic entry field.
Cylindrical and spherical faces	Edits the radius. The current radius displays in the dynamic entry field.
Toroidal faces	Edits the tube radius of the torus. The current radius displays in the dynamic entry field.
2D contours	Depending on the extrusion direction the extruded contour is unified with or subtracted from the existing solid the 2D contour was attached to.
