Bo Atkinson Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 At 29:50 in the youtube entitled "Whats new in formZ 8 Jr" the reshape tool seems to be used to delete part of a beam structure, (by operating on the cage in contrast, i suppose, to automation of the Pro version). Is this so? The manual does not summarize every possible formz action which deletes something . (Which is sensible, until a rare question like this arises).

Tech Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Dear Bo, Yes, if you Reshape OUT from a surface, this will automatically execute a Boolean Union with the "extruded surface." If you Reshape Inwards, this will execute a Boolean Difference, subtracting the result from the original object. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dworks Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 indeed it's one of the most useful aspects of the reshape tool. in conjunction with the offset tool you can add and delete a big amount of details in a breeze! it's the biggest timesaver which was introduced since version 6, imo.

Shibui Design Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Agree! Reshape tool is most useful. Also very usefull are offset outline, offset segment and imprint. I find myself using these extensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
