About Solid Combines
  1. From the Model section of the action bar, click Solid Combine .

    The Combine.x dialog box appears.

  2. In the First profile box or in the work area, select a sketch as the first component to be extruded.
    The Sketch must contain closed profiles. Note that if you launch the Solid Combine command with no profile previously defined, just access the Sketcher by clicking icon available in the dialog box and sketch the profile you need.
  3. In the Second profile box or in the work area, select another sketch as the second component to be extruded.
    This sketch contains only one profile, namely a rectangle. The Solid Combine capability computes the intersection between the profiles virtually extruded. By default, each component is extruded in a plane normal to its sketch plane. The app previews the result as soon as the second component has been selected.

  4. Select extrusion directions for both profiles, if required.


  5. Click OK to confirm and create the solid combine feature.

    The new element (identified as Combine.xxx) is added to the tree.
