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

  2. Prism is the default shape. You can also select Sweep . The direction of a pocket always goes from the inside to the outside of the body.
  3. In the Floor and Opening tabs set the parameters and options.
  4. Click Reverse Direction .
  5. Select the Clearance volume check box.
  6. In the Draft tab, specify draft parameters.
  7. In the Fillet tab, specify fillet parameters.
  8. To define the wall, set one of the two options available from the Type list.
