NX9 Modeling Tip: Extending a Face Connected to a Blended Curvature
TATA Technologies - Eric Bansen | November 6, 2015 | Comment
In the video above, we’ll be looking at how to use the label notch blend feature within synchronous modeling. This feature allows users to move a face without letting its shape be determined by a blend.
Users can find the “Label Notch Blend” feature by looking under the home tab, going to the synchronous modeling group and looking within the “More” gallery. Under “Detail Feature,” users will find “Label Notch Blend.”
Before selecting that, however, click “Move Face” and select a face that needs to be moved. As the face is pulled the blend will continue along its curvature, recreating the original model.
Selecting the label notch blend feature and applying it to the blend will allow users to pull the face freely.
The tutorial video above depicts a user selecting the feature, then selecting the blend face and then clicking OK. The face can now be moved straight upward while keeping the continuity of the blend.
