4.17. Tools

4.17.1. Move Tool

4.17.2. Rotate Tool

4.17.3. Repeat Tool

4.17.4. Volume Tool

Run a Quasi Monte Carlo program to calculate the volumes of the selected regions

4.17.5. Export Tool

Export selected viewport to image, bitmap, vector, or push to Notes

4.17.6. Movie Editor Tool

This tool can export a series of images to create a movie of the geometry. All frames are controlled by the local variable “frame” Any geometrical body, object and in general any card and/or layer parameters can be entered parametrically as a function of the “frame” variable

e.g.

* Move the camera object on a circular motion with a radius
* of 50 and each frame is moved by 1degree.
camera  x: = 50*cosd(frame)
            y: = 50*sind(frame)

* create a sphere that is exploding in radius
SPH sphere 0 0 0 =frame+1

* move along a spline path
camera  x: = spline('camera_pos',frame).x
            y: = spline('camera_pos',frame).y
            z: = spline('camera_pos',frame).z

spline name: camera_pos
*       node#    x  y  z  frame
        node00:  0  0  0    0
        node01:  0  0 10  100
        node02: 20  0 20  200
