Paint calculation feature for BOM items
Calculate Paint Area is an experimental module in CAD+ Toolset that allows calculating the painting area of the geometry based on the specified painting directions.
This module is a part of Premium edition that is currently available in the Community edition while in the experimental stage
The painting area is calculated by simulating the spraying of the pain in the nominated directions
- Spacing between rays to calculate paint area
- Directions to use for calculating the area
- Custom sketches to use for paining calculations
- Selection of component to use for hte pain calculations
- Faces of hte geometry which wil be fully painted
- Number of rays to calculate the paint. For performance reasons, it is recommended to keep this value below 20,000 by changing the value of the spacing between rays
- Calculated paint area
- Button to recalculate the paint area
- Option to use document units
- Option to use custom units
- Custom units
- Units decimals for the custom units
- Name of the custom property to output calculated area
- Output value to the configuration-specific custom property
- Copy the calculated value to the clipboard
- Write the calculated value to the custom property
- Cancel the calculations
