Creating Constructed Geometries

Constructed Geometry Creation lets you create constructed geometries automatically.


Before you begin: Open an existing 3D shape.
  1. Select the required element.
  2. In the Constructed Geometry Creation dialog box, select the required constructed geometries to be generated that appear based on the context selection.

    Constructed Geometry Context
    Angular Plane A plane and a line parallel to it, two user surfaces or geometrical elements, cylindrical and planar surfaces, two non-parallel cylindrical user surfaces or geometrical elements, or two non-parallel revolute user surfaces or geometrical elements.
    Axis The cylinder axis, the revolution axis of cone or a torus or a revolution surface, or the intersection of two planes.
    Circle
    • The cone vertex to the infinite, except the cone vertex.
    • Intersection of a cone and a plane perpendicular to the cone axis
    • Intersection of a cone and a cylinder whose axes are coaxial
    • Intersection of two cones whose axes are coaxial
    Circling Cylinder At least three lines (or axes) and passing through lines (or axes). They must be parallel and a solution must exist.
    Curve An electrical feature
    Median Plane Two parallel planes
    Passing Plane Two coplanar planes, a plane and a line on that plane, a plane and a point on that plane, two parallel or intersecting lines, a line and a point on it, and three points.
    Plane From the cone vertex to the infinite, or the plane normal to the axis of torus passing through its center.
    Point Sphere center, cone vertex, torus center, circle center, or intersection of a plane and a line.
    Reference Cylinder A line (or an axis) to define its reference cylinder axis, and passing through one or more lines (or axes) to define its radius: selected lines (or axes) must be parallel and a solution must exist.
    Thread Part Design feature or thread as Part Design technological result
    Extended Cylinder An existing cylindrical pin or hole
