WIREFRAME MODEL ALTERING
WIREFRAME MODEL ALTERING
(OP)
I have a 3d wireframe model of a part that I am designing. I would like to move the individual points (with lines attached) to different points either numerically, or by dragging.
Problem is, when I move a point, the lines move, which is want, but sometimes other points or lines move, sometimes a long ways away from where I am working. I have deleted all of the relations but this doesn't work, and also have disabled the external relations.
Is there something that I overlooking, hidden relations that I am not seeing?
I am using Solidworks 2005.
Thanks

I just want to be able to alter the position of some of the points, thereby changing the shape, but when dragging or changing the numbers, wierd stuff happens, points shoot off into space.

Is there a specific reason why you are working in wireframe mode? Weldment, surfaces, etc?

I hope that made sense? It sounds like you're modeling things the way graphics programs like Lightwave or 3DS do, rather than parametrically. There are some interesting 'flex & deform' style tools in SWx but without knowing more specifics I don't know how to help.
