Product overview

CATIA - Freestyle Sketch Tracer 1 (FSK)

allows the integration of stylists' work (such

as 2D painting) into a 3D format, as the basis

for 3D virtual mockup. This product provides

an intuitive toolbox for helping the user to

convert 2D data into 3D data: the user will

first position and scale the image in 3D, then

use CATIA Freestyle and Generative Shape

Design products to draw the geometry over

the sketches.

Product Highlights

From sketch to free form model Improved

productivity

Allows 3D sketch positioning and

trimming support with point translator

Provides scale and stretch adjustment

capability allowing the fitting between the

sketch and the 3D model

Allows a quick view orientation based on

the point of view of the sketch

Supports many image formats

Is fully integrated with Version 5 products

such as Shape Design, Drafting, Part &

Assembly design products to address

modeling requirements

Provides an ease-to-use and highly

productive user interface for intuitive and

dynamic mouse-based surface

manipulations
