CAD Kit

Concept

The CAD kit is designed to help cleaning meshes that comes from CAD data.

It consist of 4 different categories of tools / scripts / macros:

  1. CAD for Preparing and Cleaning data that comes from CAD files and simplify the workflow on this task.

  2. REBEVEL for rebuilding existing bevels without changing their value and curvature. (Work on Quad polystrip only actually)

  3. REBUILD CYLINDER to decrease existing tesselation of High poly selection of polygons along the 3 different axis. Perfect for reducing Polycount of a CAD mesh, to create a lower poly mesh for further use in MOP Booleans kit of William Vaughan for example or via the simple Boolean Tools that Modo include already.

  4. REBUILD HOLE same as Rebuild Cylinder but for holes.
