Pattern Radial

Status: Implemented

Pattern Radial feature dialog

Pattern Radial rotates copies of solids about a selected edge axis.

Inputs

  • solids – solids to copy. The feature pulls the owning solid when faces or edges are selected.
  • axisRef – an edge whose direction defines the rotation axis. The feature samples the edge polyline or geometry to recover two points.
  • centerOffset – shift the rotation center along the axis direction before copies are generated.
  • count – total number of instances including the original.
  • totalAngleDeg – angle in degrees spanned by all additional instances. With count = n, each copy is spaced at (totalAngleDeg / n) * index.

Behaviour

  • Copies are produced by cloning the solids, rotating them around the computed axis, and baking the transform. The original solid stays in place.
  • Face IDs on each copy are rewritten with a ::FeatureID_instance suffix to keep downstream selections distinct.
