DesignSpark Mechanical Objects
The DesignSpark Mechanical interface describes objects slightly differently than other modeling software you might be familiar with.
- Body: In DesignSpark Mechanical, a body is a solid or surface.
- Component: A component consists of any number of objects, such as solids and surfaces. You can think of a component as a "part." A component can also contain any number of sub-components. You can think of a hierarchy of components and subcomponents as an "assembly."
- Curve: An imported Curve file.
- Document: A DesignSpark Mechanical .rsdoc file may contain any combination of design versions and associated drawing sheets.
- Design: A design is a 2D or 3D model, which contains at least one top-level component.
- Object: An object is anything recognizable by DesignSpark Mechanical tools. For example, 3D objects include vertices, edges, faces, surfaces, solids, layouts, planes, axes, and origins. 2D objects include points and lines.
Examples of some object types are shown below:
