How To Collect Components

ENHANCED: Multiple Object Selection for Components

This is an enhancement to the Collect control for collecting components. Components are any object that you want to move with the unbending tube - including any shape of holes in the tube body. This new feature makes selecting hundreds of surfaces in complex components very easy. You add all the components that you want to the selection on the screen, then press Right mouse click to put them all in the Collect List. Choose the Correct Associated Straight Number This is the straight number that this collected components that you are about to select is attached to. It is critical to assign the correct straight number so that the components collected transform correctly during unbending. Choose an Entity Type to Select To select surfaces, click on "Single Surfaces" before choosing to start the selection process. To select solids, click on "Entire Solid" before choosing to start the selection process. Begin the Selection Process Click on the Start Selecting button. Drag with the mouse window to select multiple entities. Or single click on entities with the SHIFT key down to select multiple entities. Press and hold SHIFT while clicking on objects to add or remove them from the selection on the screen. Finish the Selection Process RIGHT click on the viewport to finish the collection process.
