Creating a Milling Block

From an existing concept shape, you can create a milling block bounding the model.

Before you begin: Create a concept shape.
  1. From the Shape Reconstruction section of the action bar, click Block Initialization .
  2. Optional: In the Block Initialization dialog box, select the concept shape.
    The block is previewed.

    Note: You can define an offset to extend the block on all sides.
  3. Define the axis system in which the block is computed.
  4. Click OK.
    In the tree, a pad is created under the Milling_Block node.
