Imported Geometry (BREP) - Repositioning Anchor with TriBall


Malcolm Crowe

Recommended Posts

If you have ever tried repositioning the "Anchor" of Imported Geometry (BREP), then you may have noticed that the TriBall won't snap to points on the geometry as it normally would. The attached video demonstrates how to get the Anchor positioned precisely where you want.

The video also demonstrates the benefit of positioning the Anchor where you want it, and the significance of the Anchor's Short Leg (whisker).

Just note: I think the TriBall should work to find the references. We will file that.

However, you can drag the TriBall center while in the Anchor edit mode and it will snap to points/faces/edges. So that can help save a few steps in the process in some cases.
