Geometric functionality |
|
| Next generation DB is new file format |
- |
based on ICEM's new object-orientated database to allow seamless integration with other ICEM tools, and easy integration with downstream tools. |
|
| Modelling tools |
- |
follow a curve, surface or facet based modelling approach, which ever workflow or project dictates. Create high-quality curves and surfaces upto order 16. |
|
| Bezier/Nurbs/Scan data |
- |
create geometry in any type that workflow or project requires. Default setting is Bezier for seamless integration with ICEM Surf. Resultant databases are thus very lightweight. |
|
Curve creation tools |
|
| Curve creation tools that allow the designer to create geometry as if drawing a sketch. Create lines, arc and curves. Apply digital tape to 2D sketches, background images or renderings as well 3D data, to explore design themes. Both tools are ideal for use with large display systems |
|
| Curve Sketching |
- |
sketch curves in an intuitive way without having to worry about the maths or control points, and shape the curves whilst still sketching them. |
|
| Curve Painting |
- |
create curves of differing colours, thickness and degrees, save them and use them in drop down menus. Sketch curves as if they were hand drawn lines, with a pen and tablet. |
|
| 3D and 2D Digital Taping |
- |
apply digital tape of different colour and thickness to 2D Images and 3D models, on screen or on a Power wall. The tape behaves like real-world tape and is ideal for marking up flat work and face lifting or identifying feature lines on models. Save style and tapes and re-use again. Can also customise tapes to take off site. |
|
| Curve manipulation |
- |
Complete suite of tools to modify curves and CVs, including extrapolation, all from a single and simple interface. |
|
| Blend curves |
- |
select the type of blend and join between two curves from an easy to use menu. |
|
| Re-build curve |
- |
increase or decrease the order and spans of a curves during the creation or after the curve has been finished. |

Surface Creation tools |
|
| Surface creation tools that quickly allow the designer to experiment and build geometry, with history support and bookmark capability. Based on ICEM Surf's industry standard surfacing capability. A few of the tools to be found in Style are |
|
| Quick Surfacing |
- |
ICEM's unique tool that allows designer to fit a surface to a curve network. For the first time designers can concentrate on creating curves in the way they know how to and let ICEM Style produce the surfaces - ideal for concept work, with the advantages of underlying high-quality Bezier math. |
