VariCAD 2016 English - Lesson 30/49 - Solving Problems in 3D Video Lecture | VariCAD: A Fundamental Training - Design Softwares

hello we are here for one more lesson of
this valley car 2016 training course and
the topic for this lesson it is solving
problems in 3d and it's a continuation
of the previous one regarding the shape
representation of 3d objects i will call
one of the files i've used on the
previous lesson which was this cube a
solid cube and the first thing i would
like to show you is about the normals of
the patches or the faces of one solid so
objects and then we have inside the
reparation tools we have these two
functions reverse all normals or reverse
Norville's at a selected patches so for
example I can select one or more patches
faces and just do this and what happened
it is that this face in more I would not
say black but darker the normal was
inverted and now is pointing out okay if
you see the other function was reverse
all normals and if I apply this to the
solid it will completely reverse what is
going on okay so now all the others are
pointing out and this one is pointing in
so this is something that you normally
will not need because when you create
solids or when you import solids from
other systems usually everything is well
and running okay but sometimes there is
a problem especially on the import of
solids and for example can happen
exactly this one of the surfaces is
pointing on a different direction than
the others and
that is a problem okay and then you may
need to do this kind of function only on
that case you will use this the other
command i would like to show you heeey
it is i will use this function that I
I've shown you on the previous lesson I
will convert this to a solid with
missing patches so now you see the same
issue of the normals on the other faces
at work where you can see inside the box
these darker so it's pointing in and
when we have this kind of situation when
you import solid and if you have
problems you can use these functions
here to display where are the problems
first we have this function to display
all open solids so highlight open solids
okay it is highlighted this solid we
have just one but if you had more than
this one it was highlighted you have
another command which is holes in the
open solid okay it is highlighted the
contour and finally you have another
function display holes in open soil
around deleted patch so it's one you
don't have but it's another function to
see the same basically these are some
tools not to to solve the problem the
first one it was to solve a problem each
one is just a visual tool to find a
possible place where you have issues I'd
like to tell to complement this
statement that
very cod provides some tools to solve
problems or you can call partial
reparations of corrupted internal data
files or objects loaded from step you
know you don't have a huge amount of
tools but there are some important
commands to help you in some situations
and these tools are under these
reparation tools where you have for
example these two features sorry this
yes these two features the first one a
file checking and basically this file
checking it is something that will allow
you to to check if a pie file has
problems or not okay you must I don't
have a file to to show you here I can
try to look around in my computer let us
look in one of the demo files of vodka
to show you so leave sample and for
example the sample for and nowhere is
found in file data you have another
function also to do the file recovery
and this file recovery if you are
working on a file for example the energy
comes down or you have an internal
problem and the software crashes you may
get a grouped file so in this case you
can try and say please check the file
and fix it and in the majority of the
situations it will help doing something
to the file and put in order old
so after you can open it again you have
another set of two functions that
regenerate all 3d objects and the
regenerate transformation of all 3d
objects these functions also the first
one and this originated all 3d objects
reveals 3d objects and that you have in
space and in case of you get internal
errors these solids are exploded in
single elements so we will simplify the
Jean tree then the program the program
creates a group for these solids with
errors and the objects that have
problems are added to these to this
group and for example if you have
problems on the addition of for example
a solid shape this command may help you
on this situation in particular this is
quite similar to the to the previous
function but detects problems regarding
the transformations and the position of
the of the objects so it's a little this
tiny difference so if you have issues
please run both of them and you'll get a
cleaning on the problems please be aware
that both of these two commands cause
the end of the history of the it changes
so you will lose what you have for sure
that you'll have the clean solid for
future edition of the shape that back
you'll clean what what you have
finally I would like to talk about this
command he converts imported object
converts to imported object and destroy
the history sometimes you need to to
clean what you have and you may need to
convert these solid or selected solid to
an imported object and as you might as
you might understand if you do this you
will lose all the history behind for for
example you do like this okay you see
situation here let's go to the other one
for example convert it various one okay
and what it happened it is ok you have
the same solid but now if you try to do
the addition of the shape it's not
possible because it has no history bit
behind as you see on the other ones
where you can edit the profile ok this
is the problem of this but when you
encounter problems please be aware that
you can close the file immediately
without saving you can open it the file
again and then you need to convert the
solid to this imported state and
probably you will clean the problems you
had so it's a solution that you might
apply to some situations I know that in
other software's that deal more with
imported files sometimes you may have
other kinds of tools to repair the
solids but as I mentioned on the
previous lesson the idea and the concept
of varakov is mainly to build geometry
inside ok
and because the function that imports
especially the step format is because
moment wipe robust in varakov so i would
say that for these kind of geometry that
you get in in normal mechanics you
should have no issues importing solids
to the system so I would not expect that
you have too many situations to apply
these kinds of tools
