Propagation by circular translation
Description:
Allows to define a propagation by circular translation. The difference with a propagation by translation is that the propagated element will keep the initial orientation.
General procedure:
Select the propagation axis.
Give the propagation angle.
Select the "center" point of the element.
Enter the total number of copies.
Example:
Available options:
You can choose between Total angle
(angle between the first and last copy) and Angle between
copies (angle between every two copies).
You can choose a 360° angle with
the button 360° .
Special remarks:
When the program ask "Point
giving radius of circle", TopSolid is going to use that point to
determine:
the radius of the rotation circle (distance between the point and the axis).
the radius orientation (identical to the one defined between the point and the axis)
