Editing

The flexibility to perform editing on imported models has become essential to understanding and reusing "dumb" data. Even imported models have intelligence, it just has to be discovered. KeyCreator provides an intuitive and completely free-form approach to changing dumb models for downstream reuse. This finely tuned architecture leverages the strength of translation, healing and editing capabilities to give users the flexibility to work with models any way they see fit. It's time users got the most out of existing design data. Rebuilding models from scratch is a thing of the past.

Hybrid techniques to blend solid, surface, and wireframe modeling.
Sophisticated geometric shape creation and deformation techniques without the
complications of constraints and feature dependencies.
Complex modification of solids through face editing, removal and Boolean operations.
Advanced transformation functions and breakdown of solids to surface and
wireframe entities.
Direct feature editing to modify features on imported models
Dynamic feature-based face selection.
Pattern identification and selection. Examples include:

Discover and select patterned features or faces for modeling operations on multiple features at once
Identification and suppression of features to simplify solid models
Removal of features independent of model construction to generate models in a "pre-machined" state

Local feature-based editing of blends, holes, bends, and more.
Boolean prune and graft operations. Examples include:

Easily tear off pieces, generate sections and pull positions of models for reuse in quickly building new models
Replace faces, fill gaps, and speed challenging modeling tasks with a complete set of surface creation functions
Convert geometric objects between forms such as a chain of lines and arcs to a spline or visa versa as needed for editing control or output formatting
Flexibly manage multiple solids or assembly structures with combinations of nested layers or linked file references
