In Inventor 2015, there's a New Simplify Ribbon Panel that you can toggle on/off and add to the Ribbon.
The BIM and Simplify Ribbons that were available in Inventor 2014(BIM Simplify in Inventor 2014):BIM Ribbon(via Recognize Revit Features) in Part files and a Simplify Ribbon in Assembly files are now in the new panel.
The Simplify Panel allows easier access to the same commands.
You can add it to these Ribbons:
- Part Files: 3D Model Ribbon
- Assembly files: Assemble Ribbon
Here's how you access the Bim and Simplify commands in Inventor 2015.
Assembly Files:
Use the same Simplify Ribbon:
OR
Add the Simplify Panel to the Assemble ribbon:
Add 'Simplify' using the Show Panel Icon on the last panel in the ribbon.
The first simplification tools are available:
Choose parts to include
Specify which parts will be replaced by an envelope.
Create a Simplified part and choose the Derive style in the Create Simplified Part dialog box:
- A single solid body with seams between planar faces merged.
- A single solid body with seams between planar faces maintained.
- Maintain each solid as a separate body.
Part Files:
Add the Simplify panel to the 3D Model ribbon:
Add 'Simplify' using the Show Panel Icon on the last panel in the ribbon.
The familiar simplification commands to remove more details, cap holes and replace faces with a cylinder/box shape will be available in that Panel.
Removes fillets, chamfers or faces
Fills voids/holes by adding surfaces to close them
Replaces selected faces with a cylindrical/box envelope.
Note: If you need the Recognize Revit Features commands part of BIM Exchange, it's on the Environments Ribbon.
