Solids Builder - Transformations

Transformations are the actions that create altered copies of the original geometries. There are the following activities that create transformations:

• Displacement - creates a copy of a geometry by offsetting (moving) it from one point to another
• Rotate 3D - creates a rotated copy of a geometry, at a given point, axis and rotation
• Scale - creates a copy and applies a homogeneous scale factor from a given point
• Mirror - creates a mirrored copy of the geometry
• Align - moves and rotates a geometry, like AutoCAD's ALIGN command, but without Design

Note, transforms do not modify the original geometry. They create copies and alter these copies. The result can later be used as any geometry. The following geometries can be transformed:

• Points
• Vectors
• Plans
• Curves
• Regions
• Solids
• Connectors
• Transforms, they generate the above geometries
