Flyout for Pad
Flyout for Pad


Shaft
Creates a shaft by rotating a profile about an axis.


Thread/Tap
Creates a thread or a tap of specified standards.


Hole
Creates holes in a 3D part.
See Creating Holes.


Rib
Creates a rib by sweeping a profile along a center-curve.


Solid Combine
Creates an intersection solid by extruding two closed profiles.


Multi-sections Solid
Creates a solid using section curves and the guide curve.
Select multiple section curves.

The spine can be user-defined or automatically computed.

Thick Surface
Adds material to a surface in two opposite directions.


Shell
Empties a feature by removing material, while keeping a thickness on its sides.


Stiffener
Creates a brace or a rib, to a wall or a stand-off to strengthen it.


Solid Tool Sweep
Moves a symmetrical 2D profile along a specified path in the 3D area.
See Creating the Solid Tool Sweep.
