I think a good idea would be to add the capability to apply a simple triangulation (facet) "feature" to any surface, quilt or solid. Add the capability to Patterns to select "triangulation vertices or centers".
More often than not I am dividing surfaces and there is no clean tool to do this. The patterning options are good in Creo but they are too "regular" for many cases.
Options for triangulation:
Basic triangulation based on:
min/max segment length
number of divisions
hex prominent (*)
hex w/ centers (*)
pentagon (*)
pentagon w/ centers (*)
squares (*)
squares w/ centers (*)
on surface (default - creates lines - point to point, optionally creates splines along surface)
edge offset
normal to surface (default) intelligence would be captured part of the feature definition.
(*) for pattering purposes. The triangulation would have solid highlight curves with dashed/hidden triangulation curves to show where patterning would place instances.
