Converting Geometry in a Direct Design Feature

The Direct Design Feature command lets you convert a geometry in a Direct Design feature.

  1. Optional: Click the icon to perform one of the following actions on the selected geometry:
    • Reframe in 3D : centers the selected geometry in the 3D area.
    • Reframe in tree : centers the selected geometry in the tree.
    • Clear input : deletes the selection.
  2. Select an industrial context in the list.

    The industrial context identifies the domain in which you create your model (for example, power train or body in white) and thereby defines industrial specifications for fillet radii, chamfer distances and angles, and draft angles. You can expand the Specifications section to display the properties of the selected industrial context.

  3. Optional: Select Chamfers recognition and Patterns recognition.
  4. Click to convert the geometry.
