Working with Boss and Pull

Creating a Boss

Boss adds material only to the outside of a material volume.

  1. In the Boss.X dialog box, select a closed profile.

    Tip: If no profile is defined, click Positioned Sketch to sketch the profile.

  2. In the Length boxes under Ceiling and Opening tabs, enter the required values.

    The ceiling length defines the distance from the sketch plane up to the ceiling and the opening length defines the distance from the sketch plane up to the opening.

  3. Click Mirrored extent to extrude the profile in the opposite direction using the same length value as the one defined for the first length.
  4. To define the direction of the boss, select the required reference element in the Direction box.

    By default, the boss is created in the direction normal to the profile.

    Tip: Click Reverse Direction to reverse the extrusion direction.

  5. In the Draft tab, specify the following draft parameters as required.
  6. In the Fillet tab, specify the following fillet parameters as required.
  7. Under Wall, select the direction for the construction of the wall (inside or outside).
