Free Edges

Demonstrates how the PowerPack : Show Free Edges tool is used to add surfaces and stitch into a solid for later shelling.

Flip Facet

The orientation of facets is important when converting subdivision meshes to NURBs. In this video we use the Flip One Normal tool in PowerPack to identify and fix flipped normals. Once corrected we convert into a surface and thicken into a solid.


Simplify Profile

Demonstrates the simplify profile tool of PowerPack for a wing

AutoPosition

One of the 3D Printing tools introduced into PowerPack LT is Auto Position and Pack. The Auto Position tool will either align a selected facet normal to the z-axis or optimally pack a collection of parts onto a print platform.

Add Structure

PowerPack LT has a tool to manually add and edit support structures.
--Manually adds support (no auto support) --Change attach radius, mid radius, base radius, base thickness --Drag base and elbow
