- [Instructor] And now I want to talk about transformations.
Hit the down arrow on our Transformations
and pull out the little toolbar
and the ones that I do want to discuss
are translate, rotate and symmetry.
Select on symmetry
and you can either use the reference document
that you downloaded
or you can select F1 on the keyboard
if you have the help docs,
download the Transform1 and open in your CATIA session
and get to it.
So, here we specify our element
for the symmetry
and the reference.
We'll use my XY plane to symmetry that element
across the XY plane.
I'm just going to undo that.
So, it's pretty straightforward.
Again, symmetry, element or elements
that you want in symmetry,
pick your reference,
in this case I'll use the YZ plane this time
and across it goes.
Next, I'm going to talk about rotate.
Element that you want to rotate,
pick my surface,
specify your rotation axis
and how far do you want to go?
Select OK and there's my rotate.
Just undo that,
go back into translate.
And with translate
again, specify the element you want to translate,
specify a direction,
pick this plane.
That gives me the normal direction
and here specify the distance,
positive or negative.
In this case this is positive
but the direction is negative.
Under the translate as well you have point to point.
This is a very handy one
and with this you specify the element
you want to translate,
you pick the point you want to go from,
I'll just pick this vertex
to the point you want to go
and I'll specify this vertex.
Now, it translates it,
it doesn't change the orientation or anything,
it just takes it and moves it from point to point.
Select okay to keep your transformation
and those are your transformations.
