Imprint Tool Options

Tolerance

If the distance between objects is less than or equal to the Tolerance value, they will be considered intersecting.

In the example, the distance between the objects is 0.01, which is equal to the Tolerance.

Imprint by For models with instanced parts, select the appropriate option for Imprint by.

Ignore instances: Ignores instanced parts if the imprint would create a mismatch across the instances.

In this example, the imprint would create a mismatch across the instances, so the instanced parts are ignored.

Imprint across instances: Imprints across instanced parts. Additional imprints are created to preserve the matching across instanced parts.

Imprint and break instances: Imprints across instanced parts. Instances that can no longer be identical to one another will be broken (see the Structuredesign tree).

Face Finds intersections between two faces.
Edge Finds intersections between two edges.
Beam/Curve Finds intersections between curves/beams.
