Hi all, newbie question here. I am just starting out in Icepak. So far my only real experience in MCAD tools has been SolidWorks, so coming into such an "archaic" GUI is a bit of a shock.
I'm finding I have a lot of trouble manipulating the geometry in the interactive mode. For example, using the "morph and align faces" tool, I need to choose two faces to align. The problem is that there is no way to know what face I will be choosing, if any, before I click the mouse button. And if I somehow click outside the boundaries of what Icepak considers a face (even though it's clearly within the 3D geometry in the model view), then the tool is canceled and I have to start over. This is extremely frustrating. Is there a better way to use these tools? Should I just suck it up and start getting used to entering in geometry coordinates? Any help on the subject would be greatly appreciated. |

HI Buddy,
Aligh and morph faces are actually very handy once you get used to it. For that i suggest changing the background colour to black. then you will be able to clearly visualize your selection. And more over while using these options, it is better to zoom in/out and use. try and let me know your experience. thanks Pramodh J |
