Align facets dialog

In the current version of Molflow, it is possible to insert a GEO, TXT or STL file to the current geometry. It is useful if we want to assemble a system from parts that are each represented by a file.

However, snapping the pieces together might be difficult, thus there is a new Facet align option.

To use it, select the object that we want to align.

Then open the Facet align dialog. Upon opening, the selection will be memorized:

Then we have to select the two facets that will be snappe together. Also, we have to define 2-2 points that will be on each other:

Finally, we can align the objects. Note that the order of the selected vertices is not indifferent, therefore we have the *Swap vertices * options. If the alignment is not correct, we can use the Undo button. Happy snapping!
