Edit Solid

GO2cam applies parametric design principles during creation. As a geometric element or object forms, its creation history is stored in a database. This method links the selected element to all prior constructions. A history tree displays the chronological operations for creating a body part and remains accessible and editable.

Parameterizing is a powerful functionality of GO2cam, you can find more information about it by clicking here!
