3D Line

You can use this tool to create 3D lines, 3D rectangles and 3D polygons.

3D Spline

You can use this tool to draw open and closed B-splines and cubic splines.

3D Circle

You can use this tool to create a full circle or arc by specifying a center point, radius and starting and end angles or arc length, or by using two points and the radius. Note: The 3D circle is created on an X-Y plane.

Box

You can use this tool to create two types of box: one that is parallel to the coordinate planes and that lie flat in the workspace or on a work plane, and one that is freely positionable in space.

3D Surface

You can use this tool to create planar surfaces of any shape from closed 3D polylines. As an alternative, you can enter the boundary lines for the new surface.

Cylinder

You can use this tool to create cylinders that are parallel to the coordinate planes and that lie flat in the workspace or on a work plan. In addition, you can create cylinders along any axis.

Cone, Pyramid

You can use this tool to create a pyramid-like solid on a planar surface.
If you use a regular polygon with the same number of edges for the base, you will obtain a conical solid.

Sphere

You can use this tool to create 3D spheres starting from a center point and radius.

Patch

You can use this tool to create planar or curved surfaces from curves or edges of existing 3D elements. The curves and edges must form a closed outline.

Three-Point Canopy, Four-Point Canopy

You can use this tool to create 3D surfaces that sag downward or curve upward, or 3D solids with three or four vertices.
This curving is achieved by means of triangular decomposition of the surface. You can use this tool to model awning or connect elements of different height with a surface or 3D solid, thus creating "warped" surfaces and solids.

Parallel to Element

You can use this tool to design lines parallel to 2D or 3D elements.

Offset 3D Polyline

You can use this tool to create polylines consisting of up to nine parallel 3D lines or join existing parallel polylines. You can also assign attributes to these lines and use them as conduits, for example.

Perp

You can use this tool to drop a perpendicular to a 3D line or 3D edge.

Perpendicular to Surface, Plane

You can use this tool to drop a perpendicular to a plane or a surface.

Perpendic. Bisector

You can use this tool to draw a perpendicular bisector on a line or an edge.

Perp

You can use this tool to drop a perpendicular to a line, circle, spline or an ellipse.

Angle Bisector

You can use this tool to draw an angle bisector between 2D or 3D lines.
The lines can already exist, or you can define them by specifying their start and endpoints. The starting point of the angle bisector is the (virtual) point where the two lines forming the angle meet. The direction of the angle bisector can stretch in all four of the areas formed by the intersecting lines.

Parallel Surfaces

You can use this tool to draw surfaces parallel to polygonal 3D surfaces and 3D solids.

3D Curve from Axis and Gradient

You can use this tool to create a three-dimensional B-spline from a planar axis and a planar gradient. You can define the direction and height of the resulting B-spline, which you can then use to model solids.

Extract 3D Curve

You can use this tool to extract 3D curves from architectural elements, 3D objects or 3D surfaces. You can also select ISO curves and 3D lines. ALLPLAN places the extracted curves in their original position. You can select the curves in order to move or edit them.

Insert Line in 3D Curve

You can use this tool to insert lines or linear segments in 3D B-splines or 3D polylines. This does not divide the B-spline or polyline; it is still a single element.

Extrude

You can use this tool to create 3D solids based on 3D surfaces.
In addition, you can edit 3D solids by drawing any outline on a surface of the solid and modeling this outline freely in three dimensions. You can even use the outline of an offset surface as the basis.

Extruding along a path

You can use this tool to create solids or surfaces by extruding an open or closed profile along a path.

Sweep Path

You can use this tool to create 3D solids or 3D surfaces from at least two profiles that are joined along at least one sweep path or path.

Loft

You can use this tool to join two or more open or closed planar profiles to form a single solid or surface.
It is not necessary that the profiles have the same number of points or corners. Lines connecting the profiles are not required either.

Revolve

You can use this tool to create solids or surfaces by revolving a profile about an axis.

Shell

You can use this tool to create parallel 3D surfaces or 3D solids at a specific distance from any 3D surfaces or 3D solids.

Unfold Shell

You can use this tool to interactively unfold a 3D entity.

Center of Gravity

You can use this tool to determine the center of gravity of a solid. A 3D symbol is created at this point, which you can delete again if necessary.

Surface’s Center

You can use this tool to determine the center of a uses the 2D or- surface. A 3D symbol is created at this point, which you can delete again if necessary.

Intersect Line, Plane

You can use this tool to determine the point where a line and a plane or a solid intersect.

Chamfer Edge

You can use this tool to chamfer some or all edges of a 3D solid by defining an offset.

Fillet Edge

You can use this tool to fillet some or all edges of a 3D solid by entering a radius.

Modify Edge Offset

You can use this tool to change two or more edges of a polygonal 3D solid or 3D surface by entering an offset. The edges must lie in the same plane.

Rotate 3D Entities

You can use this tool to rotate 3D entities freely in space in two directions. You do not need to enter any angle. First, you define a fixed point about which you want to rotate the solid. Then, you select a base point and a direction point for each direction. These points can be on the 3D element you want to rotate or on any other 3D element.

Rotate 3D Elements

You can use this tool to rotate 3D elements in space by specifying the axis and angle of rotation.

Resize 3D Entities

You can use this tool to resize 3D entities either by specifying the ratio between two lines or specifying a resizing factor and a direction.

Slice

You can use this tool to slice 3D solids, 3D lines, 3D arcs or 3D splines using a plane.
The plane can be a 3D surface or a pair of planes you defined with Custom Planes.

Delete Surfaces

You can use this tool to delete surfaces, edges or points from 3D objects and general 3D objects.

Repair 3D Elements

You can use this tool to edit and repair one or more 3D elements. This way, you can remove inconsistencies that may occur when you model and change a 3D solid or 3D surface a number of times.
This tool normalizes elements, merges congruent or duplicate edges, removes edges within planar surfaces and corrects surface normals.
