How to set the selection mode of the Geomagic brush?

When it comes to paintbrushes, people may think that setting them up should be quite complicated, right? It's actually not difficult, it can be done in a few steps.

The following are the steps for setting up:

Open Geomagic: First, open the Geomagic software, and then import the model you need to process. If the model hasn't been opened yet, just go to the "File" menu and click "Open".

Find the Brush Tool: In the toolbar on the left side of the interface, you will see an icon for a small brush. Click it to enter brush mode. A small box will pop up on the interface, and you can start adjusting the brush settings.

Adjust brush mode: In the settings box, there are two options: "Select Mode" and "Edit Mode". Click on 'Select Mode' so you can adjust the brush size and hardness. The size of a brush is like the area it covers, the larger it covers, and the hardness determines whether the edges are blurry or clear.

Use the mouse to adjust the size: for example, if you want to select a large area, then increase the brush size a bit; If you need to make a careful selection, just make it smaller. You can also hold down the 'Shift' key and use the directional keys to fine tune step by step for more precise results.

Try the effect: After adjusting the brush, you can try drawing a picture on the model to see if the selected area meets your expectations. If you make the wrong selection, it's okay. Hold down the "Ctrl" key and click again to cancel the selection.

With these steps, you can easily handle Geomagic's brush selection mode, isn't it quite simple?

2、 How to draw door handles in Geomagic

Do you want to draw a door handle in Geomagic? It may sound a bit complicated, but it's actually quite easy, like piling up wood.

We will take a few steps:

New Model File: Open Geomagic, click "New File", and you will have a blank canvas.

Draw a cylinder: The shape of door handles is mostly cylindrical, so let's start with cylinders first. Find the "Create" function in the toolbar, select "Cylinder", and then drag out the shape of a cylinder on the canvas. If you want a thicker or longer door handle, you can adjust the diameter and height.

Adjust details: After obtaining the basic shape, use the "Zoom" and "Stretch" tools to adjust the two ends of the door handle to fit more closely to the actual shape. To make the edges more natural, you can use the "chamfer" tool to give the edges a slight curvature and make them look less stiff.

Add some small details: There are usually some screw holes or textures on the door handle. You can use the "hollow" function to add a few small holes, or use the "texture" tool to add some details to the surface, such as horizontal stripes, diagonal stripes, etc., to make it look more realistic.

Check the model: After completing the door handle, use Geomagic's "Model Check" tool to see if there are any extra edges or lines. If there is, just use the 'repair' tool to handle it directly.

In this way, a simple and realistic door handle is completed, and it's actually not difficult to operate at all, right?
