2D Sketching

2D Sketching

GeoCreate allows the user to easily draw complicated 2D sketches, that will be later used for creating 3D solid objects.

It offers a full set of functions to assist the user in 2D design:

Point: Draw points by clicking on the sketch grid. The sketch points can then be used for drawing more complicated shapes such as splines.

Line: Draw a line by connecting two new or existing sketch points.

Poly-line: Easily create continuous line segments connected by their endpoints.

Rectangle: Draw a rectangle by picking two opposite points.

Spline: Draw an interpolated NURBS curve that passes through a set of picked points.

Arc: Draw an arc by picking three points: the center, the start angle along the radius and the end angle.

Circle: Draw a circle by picking two points: the center and one point along the radius.

Fillet: Create a fillet between two lines connected at a point. The fillet radius can be easily adjusted by the user.

Linear pattern: Easily repeat a set of sketch entities multiple times along a line.

Circular pattern: Easily repeat a set of sketch entities multiple times along a circle.

Import profile from file: Create a sketch by directly importing the point coordinates from an external file. This can be quite useful for importing airfoil or blade profiles.
