When you create a Lathe solid operation like the one we created, the TurboCAD explorer palette shows the entire part tree of that element. (see image 07)Ġ7 – The new Parts Tree shows a step-by-step sequential history of all modeling and other operations on a model. After the lathe operation the next operation was the Shell operation.

For example, for our goblet shape we started with a Lathe operation which itself was proceeded by a series of lines and a spline for the curve. This means you can examine all the multiple steps that were undertaken to make up a complex part. But in this version 7 release the program gains some of the power of far more expensive MCAD systems like SolidWorks and others. TurboCAD Mac Pro 7 is not what you would call an advanced parametric-based modeling tool like SolidWorks, even though it is built on the same underlying modeling kernel (ACIS). New Part Tree – Advanced Model Parametrics Neighboring faces are then extended or re-limited (shortened) to account for the new position of the affected face.
It took us a few minutes to figure this one out but once mastered it is quite easy to dimensionally move a particular “face” of a solid by a set distance. In version 7 there is also another direct solids modeling tool in the new Move Face tool. The Push/Pull tool is a new direct solids modeling tool. 06 – A popup menu allows the user to toggle through valid selected parts of a model under the cursor quiet easily with highlighting on the face associated with the under-cursor pre-selection.
