Smart Edit
All Smart Edit tools uses new in-build selection system (see Smart Selection).
Extrude
Tool for extruding polygons and NURBS surfaces. (see Surface Selection)
Profile
LWCAD 2018.1 video: Profile update
Tool to extrude profiles from the 1D and 2D shape libraries along a defined path of selected segments.
Segments can be selected:
curve segments
polygon edges
nurbs surface edges
Profile tool is based on Smart Selection system (see Edges Selection)
Surface - surface material of the profile object
Ground Viewport - orthogonal plane to align the initial profile
Align Mode - profile alignment type
Handle Mode - defines which parameter type is currently being adjusted using active handles
Placement - defines how the active handles are located along the selected path
Diameter <shift> - set the diameter value to all active handles
Set Default - set original default value from Shape Library to all active handles
Angle <shift> - set the angle value to all active handles
Rotate 90 - turn the angle of 90 degrees at all active handles
Geometry Type - the target type of the geometry of the created profile object
Rail Divisions - level of detail of rail segments
shape freeze error - legacy parameter for polygons mode when freezing along the path
Keep Curves - the selected curves are not deleted
Pivot X - profile pivot position (X coordinate)
Pivot Y - profile pivot position (X coordinate)
Flip Horizontal - this sets the profile orientation from left to right and vice versa.
Flip Vertical - this sets the profile orientation from up to down and vice versa.
Lib Type - switch between 1D and 2D library
Shape - a preset file from an active library
Library - a preset directory from an active library
preview rows - how many preset rows are visible in the thumbnail
Make UV Map - enable creation of UV map
Real-World Size - enable custom size of UV map
U Size - size of UV map along U
V Size - size of UV map along V
Show Handles - displays active profile handles
Show Dimensions - displays active profile handles values
Show Profiles XY - displays the profile X and Y axes
Engraver
Engraver is a special tool for extruding sets or quad polygons using Lib1D shapes.
