Shape Creation

KeyCreator provides a complete solution for shape design. The product seamlessly integrates 2D Drafting, 3D wireframe, surfacing, solids and NC into one easy to learn environment. The latest shape design tools, combined with innovations in Feature Discovery and the ability to "cut and paste" features (called Prune and Graft), help companies streamline the product design process. Using the geometry-based tools in KeyCreator, designers can quickly and easily create and modify complex models in one hybrid environment. KeyCreator allows the designer to concentrate on the design rather than the software.

• Shape creation tools (curves, surfaces, solids) allow designers to quickly create complex shapes from concept to manufacturing.
• Visualization tools such as zebra lines, environment maps, textures, transparency and anti-aliasing support give the designer the ability to realistically visualize and interact with complex shapes.
• Shape deform tools allow dynamic modification of any curve, surface or solid. Using either shape control points or user definable constraint points, designers can intuitively make quick changes to complex shapes.
• Reshape tool facilitates the global modification of 3D shapes. Using a before-and-target set of curves or edges, designers can quickly make various versions of one model, or modify existing models per specific design specifications, at any point in the product design process.

The breadth of tools and technologies in KeyCreator gives the designer full control over the shape while simplifying the entire creative process. KeyCreator allows designers to focus on the quick development of multiple concepts to create truly exceptional products.
