I'm trying to get a head start in modeling in Wildfire 2.0 before our company makes the switch from 2001 to WF2.0.
I'm having trouble merging quilts. It's no problem to merge one surface with another surface to create a quilt, but I can't figure out how to merge one quilt with another quilt.
For example, I have two closedsurfaces merged together (an intersect that create a closed quilt). This quilt has rounds on the corners that are left after the intersection. I have an extruded surface (with closed ends) that also has rounds on the end edges.
I'd like to merge the first quilt (merged surfaces, and rounds) with the second quilt. In 2001, I would simply do Feature -> Create -> Surface -> Merge then select the first quilt, and then the second quilt, and could choose the "direction" of each quilt to make it a merge, or intersection, or whatever. However, in WF2.0, I can't do a merge unless I select a surface feature in the model tree. I want to merge the whole quilt, not the surface.
Can anyone please tell me how to do this? I know that WF2.0 can handle such a task, as I can open old 2001 models, but I just can't figure out how to make it merge two quilts together.
Also, I need guidance on how to transform quilts. In 2001, I could do Feature -> Create -> Surface -> Transform. But, I don't know how to do it in WF2.0. I can copy a bunch of features, and do a past special, but it's not quite the same. I can translate the copied features, but I'd also like to be able to mirror them. And, I'd also like to have the option of not keeping the original surfaces (like I could in 2001).
For example, I'd like to be able to mirror a quilt (like above, two merged surfaces with rounds on the corners) and then translate it 50 mm (or whatever) in one direction.
Again, any help will be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
