How to add your knowledge
Table of contents
No headersExtruded features are building blocks for creating and modifying models. You can create both solid and surface extrusions.
Extrude creates a feature by adding depth to sketch and model geometry. You specify the direction, depth, taper angle, and the type of feature for the extrusion.
An extruded solid requires a region. An extruded surface can use an open or closed profile.
- Switch the toolbar workspace to Solid.
- Click Extrude in the Solid pull-down.
- In the graphics area, select one or more sketch regions or model faces. Multiple selections must be coplanar and in the same component. Sketch profiles must be in the same sketch.
- Select the Direction Type
- One Side Creates the extrusion in one direction.
- Two Side Creates the extrusion in both directions. Each direction can have a different extrusion length.
- Symmetric Creates the extrusion in both directions. Each direction has the same extrusion length.
- Use the manipulators to set the height and taper, or enter values in the dialog box.
- Select the Boolean Type
- Join Adds material.
- Cut Removes material.
- Intersect Removes all material from the solid that does not overlap the new feature.
- New Body Creates the extrusion as a new solid body.
- New Component Creates a child component in the active component.
- Switch the toolbar workspace to Surface.
- Click Extrude in the Surface pull-down.
- In the graphics area, select one or more sketch profiles, sketch entities, model faces, or model edges. Multiple selections must be coplanar and in the same component. Sketch profiles must be in the same sketch.
- Select the Direction Type
- One Side Creates the extrusion in one direction.
- Two Side Creates the extrusion in both directions. Each direction can have a different extrusion length.
- Symmetric Creates the extrusion in both directions. Each direction has the same extrusion length.
- Use the manipulators to set the height and taper, or enter the values.
- Select the Boolean Type
- New Body Creates the extrusion as a new surface body.
- New Component Creates a child component in the active component.
Enables the selection of sketch profiles.
Specifies the distance to extrude.
Available for Two Side extrusions. Specifies the second extrusion direction.
Specifies the angle to taper the extrusion.
Specifies the method to control the size of the extrusion
- One Side Creates the extrusion in one direction.
- Two Side Creates the extrusion in both directions. Each direction can have a different extrusion length.
- Symmetric Creates the extrusion in both directions. Each direction has the same extrusion length.
Specifies the affect the extrusion has on the model.
- Join (solid only) Adds material.
- Cut (solid only) Removes material.
- Intersect (solid only) Removes all material from the solid that does not overlap the new feature.
- New Body Creates the extrusion as a new body.
- New Component Creates a child component in the active component.
