In order to achieve this, you can mark several regions (also called Mesh-Segments) of the part in the CAD Model editor.

In order to do this open the “CAD Models” editor and select the part.

Select “Mesh Segments” (1). You can add (2) or remove (5 – or use “DEL”) those segments of the mesh, import meshed from a different project (3) duplicate a selected mesh (4 – or via CTRL-C, CTRL-C) . After you have created meshes you can use boolean operation to “merge” (create the union), create the intersection of 2 meshes, create a mesh with the combined surface except the overlapping surface, or use the first selected mesh and remove the mesh selected afterwards, or select the complementary surface.

After you added a mesh, or if you want to modify a mesh later, you have to chose a method how to select or unselect the area (1). Options are “airbrush selection” (or “Flat area selection” where you click on a surface and all neighboring flat triangles are also marked. You can select rectangular selection where you set a start and an endpoint, or polygon selection, where you click on the outer points of a desired polygon shape. In case of the polygon selection, you will see the first boundatry line of the polygon after you marked the second point – not earlier.

Adding versus removing surface: With the left mouse button clicked or pressed, you add area, with the right one you remove. In case of “airbrush-seelction” you can change the radius (1) and the density (3) of the “brush” that marks the area.

Image: dashboard: the optional feature are not at the end of the dashboard as desired

got to betterDocs categories.

All categories of all knoweldgebases (paint-repair, 3D pen, etc..) are listet now

Search e.g. for “Paint” (or Paint-Repair) … make sure each category of paint-repair has paint or paintg repair in its name!

Image: all categories that include the word “paint” are now listed.

You have listed now all categories within the Paint-Repair. Now you can move some categories up or down by drag and drop… that orders the sequence / order onm the website. This is identical to wordpress / appearance / menue

Image: all categories that include the word “paint” after moving one up.

Note: if there are some categories inside a Knowledge-base which are not appearing in aboves list, the reordering will effect them. Thay

Reorder or Reassign Documents Inside the Categories of One Knowledge-Base (e.g. Inside Paint-Repair)

This one is indeed as simple as you would expect it:

In the betterDocs: Got to the Dasbboard. Chose the modern UI – not the classical. Chose “show all documents”. Before you have seen only the most recent ones. now you see all of them -in a dasbnoard which contains all knoweldges-bases (paint-repair. OLP,..). Now select the Knowlegde-base e.d. “Paint-repair”. Now you see all categories (which are not empty) and all documents that are correctly assigned.

You can now drag and drop insode a category and from one catagory to another.

Q: Can I name 2 or more entities identical?

A: No. Each CAD, each obstacle, each part, each scene, each setup, each workflow must have a unique name.
