Generative Design now preserves planar symmetry during the reconstruction of optimized results.

When a planar geometry constraint is defined for optimization, a plane is used during reconstruction to mirror the Freestyle geometry. The preserved geometry used in the optimization operation remains symmetrical across the planar reference.

Key features include:

  • Planar Symmetry Preservation: The Freestyle feature appears as patterned in the Model Tree. When edited, the shape is mirrored in the Freestyle tree, and modifying the control mesh automatically updates the mirrored reference.

Previously, the reconstruction model did not preserve the symmetrical geometry constraint from the optimization setup. This led to a reconstruction geometry with subdivisional surfaces created in Freestyle that were not perfectly symmetrical across the plane. Additionally, you had to edit Freestyle entities on both sides of the symmetrical plane to maintain symmetry.

Benefits:

  • Ensures symmetrical geometry during reconstruction, aligning with the optimization setup.
  • Simplifies the editing process by automatically updating mirrored references when modifying the control mesh.
