GRADIENT<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fills a closed boundary with a gradient fill. A gradient is a smooth transition between two or more colors, used to replace solid hatch patterns for visual rendering.<\/p>\n\n\n

Command Prompt Sequence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Select boundary objects or pick internal point to define the fill area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Choose gradient type: linear, radial, spherical, curved, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Set color 1 and color 2, adjust angle, offset, and transparency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Preview and confirm to create the gradient fill object.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Key Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Pick Point<\/strong>: Click inside a closed area to automatically detect the boundary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Select Objects<\/strong>: Manually select closed lines, polylines, circles or other shapes as the boundary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Gradient Pattern<\/strong>: Predefined gradient distribution styles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Angle<\/strong>: Rotates the direction of the gradient transition.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Transparency<\/strong>: Controls the opacity of the gradient fill.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Centered<\/strong>: Makes the gradient symmetrical from the center of the boundary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • The boundary must be fully closed; gaps will cause gradient creation failure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Gradient objects are separate entities, which can be moved, edited or deleted independently.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Gradient fills are for presentation purposes and do not affect dimension calculation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Application Scenarios<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Use GRADIENT to add realistic shaded effects to architectural elevations, sectional views, product schematic diagrams and design renderings without external image editors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
