Working With CAD Bodies

nTop Platform supports multi-body parts and treats imported parts as collections of Bodies; even if the CAD Part only contains a single body. Therefore, downstream operations require identifying the specific CAD Body by creating a CAD Body Variable or converting it into an Implicit Body. To perform this action:

• Start with an Imported Part.
• Double-click any face to select an entire body; note single-clicks select only the specific face.
• Right-clicking the highlighted Body and select one of two options: 
  • Create CAD Body Variable
  • Convert CAD Body to Implicit Body
• Either option adds a block that can be an input to other operations.
• Select faces, edges, and vertices of CAD parts with a single click.
