Creating a profile
In our case, the profile consists of various teeth. Begin
by drawing one of these teeth, which will be copied later to obtain the entire
profile.
Creating a size-55 auxiliary line
- Choose the option Line, by going to Geometry
Create
Line or by going to the GiD
Toolbox.
- Enter the coordinates of the beginning and end points of the auxiliary line.
For our example, the coordinates are (0, 0) and (55, 0), respectively. Besides
creating a straight line, this operation implies creating the end points of
the line.
- Press ESC to indicate that the process of creating the line is finished.
- If the entire line does not appear on the screen, use the option Zoom
Frame, which is located either in the GiD Toolbox or in Zoom on
the mouse menu.
