Models

Models are pads, toe bridges, arches, etc. that can be positioned on the insole.

You can access the area for editing models by selecting the "Models" select.

In GP InsoleCAD A distinction is made between two types of model. On the one hand there are surface models and on the other point models. The biggest difference between the two model types is how these models can be edited and how the models are displayed in the software.

Surface models: This can be imagined as an inlay. The shape of the model can be edited using similar functions to those used to model the insert. This means that the model is changed by deforming it, as the model consists of a predefined surface.

Point models:   have a fundamentally different structure. As the name suggests, these models consist of individual points. The points themselves are connected by mathematical formulae so that the model can be displayed by the software. In GP InsoleCAD the connections between the points are shown as lines.

Point models can be adapted quickly and very individually by moving the points. A large part of the actual modelling is carried out by the software and the stored formulas. At the same time, this creates very round, naturally shaped models.

• If a model is inserted, the highest point of the model is always displayed as a coloured square.
• The currently selected model can be recognised by the pink coloured dot and the yellow-orange texture with the drawn lines. For point models, if the "Moulds" also shows the points by which the model is defined in addition to the highest point.

• You can recognise point models by the fact that the points are displayed in the toolbox for a selected model. This area is empty for surface models.
