Modify Interactive Modeling Move Faces

The Move Faces functionality is used to translate or rotate a set of user-selected faces. Once the command is applied, the faces are moved while keeping the solid's geometry consistent.

As the selected faces are transformed, other faces that are connected to the selected ones also change their shape to maintain the consistency of the model.

If this command is applied on all the faces of a feature, then the complete feature can be effectively moved from one location to another.

For additional functionalities, the command's selection list has:

• Copy check box: the faces will be copied if it is selected.
• Scale Factor text box: The faces will be scales as per the value entered here.
• Associative Transformation check box: When the check box is selected, the resulting transformed entity is associated with the original entity. Now when the original is again moved, then even the entity associated with it also moves accordingly.
• Fillet Reconstruction option enables you to to reconstruct the fillets.

The Move Faces command makes use of the translation handles to specify the magnitude and direction of the face transformation. The use of the translation handles and the related options in the Move Faces selection list is similar to its use during the Move/Copy command.
