Creating a mockup |

Mockup It may be created using different methods. Some of them are listed below.
Method 1
This method allows you to create a mockup that does not have an associative connection with the source model of the original component. It is suitable for creating mockups from subassemblies that are not supposed to be edited later, containing large numbers of components and/or components of complex shape.
1.In the subassembly source file, remove components and other objects that should be missing from the mockup (for example, holes constructed in the subassembly).
2.If necessary, simplify the models of components remaining in the subassembly, by removing chamfers, fillets, holes, etc. from them.
3.Save the subassembly as a part. Details...
If necessary, you can just save the file with a new name without changing the file type.
The resulting file will be the component mockup file.
4.If necessary, perform additional constructions in the mockup file.
Method 2
This method allows you to create a mockup associatively connected with the source model of the original component and exactly repeating its shape. It is suitable for creating mockups of complex shapes based on models that can later be edited.
1.Create a mockup file – a part or an assembly.
2.You can use the Copy Objects Copy the required geometric objects from the component source file to the mockup file (to select the component file during copying, you need to set the Source switch to the Selected File position).
3.Save the changes.
Method 3
This method allows you to create a mockup of a simple shape.
1.Create a mockup file – a part or an assembly.
2.Construct the desired geometric objects.
If necessary, you can copy reference objects from the component source model to the mockup. In this case, the mockup will be associated with the component model.
3.Save the changes.

To create a model mockup with complex elements, such as corrugation or perforation, it is convenient to use Textures. When replacing geometry with textures, the size of the model file can be significantly reduced. |
