TriBall Geometric Manipulator (IronCAD)
Unified 3D transform tool for positioning, rotating, and patterning geometry.
Definition
In IronCAD, TriBall Geometric Manipulator represents a core architectural mechanism. IronCAD's signature graphical tool that provides precise handles to move, rotate, mirror, and array any 3D face, part, or assembly.
Why it matters
Mastering TriBall Geometric Manipulator is critical for production-grade deliverables. Directly controls the regeneration computation logic of geometric transforms, converting complex numeric coordinate inputs into fast mouse moves.
Common pitfalls
- Forgetting to lock specific degrees of freedom on the TriBall, causing parts to skew off-axis.
- Misaligning target origins.
This concept is a core structural element of the IronCAD drafting and engineering environment developed by IronCAD LLC. A unique dual-engine (Parasolid + ACIS) MCAD that excels at drag-and-drop catalog modeling and absolute design freedom.
