Detailing geometry is part of a model, which is a set of objects that define the basic geometric parameters of a model. For example, it can define:
•areas of assembly space that limit its components,
•fasteners,
•the final positions of the moving parts of the assembly (if any),
•limitations of overall dimensions,
•placement of individual components of the product, etc.
Using detailing geometry is one of the design techniques for an assembly model (see Appendix Methods for designing assemblies. Teamwork, Top down design with pre-detailing and Bottom up design with pre-detailing).
Components of detailing geometry can be parts, assemblies, and local parts.
Parts and assemblies inserted into the model as detailing geometry are stored in separate files. In fact, the model contains only links to files of these parts and assemblies. When transferring such a model to another workplace with it, it is necessary to transfer files of all parts and assemblies, which are sources of its detailing geometry.
The local part, built in the model as a detailing geometry, is stored directly in the file of this model.
Detailing geometry can be added to the model in various ways.
•When working with a part, detailing geometry is added from a file of another model.
•When working with assemblies, detailing geometry can be added from a file of another model, created in the context of the current model, and also obtained by converting objects of the current model.

Transformation of objects into detailing geometry
In the future, you can edit the detailing geometry in the context of the current model. If the detailing geometry is stored in another file (part, assembly), you can also open it for editing in a separate tab of the KOMPAS-3D window.

The same model can be inserted as detailing geometry in several other models, and vice versa, the model can contain several inserts of the same detailing geometry.
Elements of the detailing geometry (faces, edges, solids, etc.) can be used in the operations of constructing various objects of the model. In this case, the detailing geometry itself does not change.
Detailing geometry is not an integral part of the product; therefore, it is not taken into account when creating reports and specifications for the model.
Detailing geometry is not involved in the definition of the model's CMP.
By default detailing geometry is located on a special layer. Detailing Geometry and if there are several layers with this name (these layers can be added and removed by the user) – on one of them with the lowest number. If at creation of detailing geometry a layer with the Detailing Geometry name missing in the model, it is automatically created. By default, the automatically created layer is not projected into the associative drawing. If necessary, you can turn on the projection or transfer the detailing geometry to another layer. Working with layers is described in section Model layers.

Building detailing geometry as a whole is similar to building components. During further work with detailing geometry, in contrast to working with components, the following actions are not available: •enable/disable fixation, •merging into subassembly and subassembly destruction, •conversion to local portion by Embed in document command. The integration into a macro-element is available only for objects included in components of the detailing geometry. These components themselves cannot be combined into a macro-element. In addition, the View – Hide in components menu commands do not cover detailing geometry objects. You can manage visibility of detailing geometry objects using the Model Tree (see section Methods of Working with Objects in the Model Tree). |
