Solid Menu: Creation Tools

This group of functions is used to create solid entities.

The following functions are available in this group:

Cutting Object

Create a new object that will be marked and used as a cutting object.

Drive

Drive a contour to add or remove material.

Loft

Create a new object that interpolates a series of sections.

Pipe

Drive a circle along a curve to add or remove material.

Revolve

Revolve a contour to add or remove material.

Rib

Create a rib to strengthen regions of the part. The rib is based on a 2D wireframe with a defined thickness, draft angle, direction, and a flat or rounded top.

Skin (Solid)

Create a new object that interpolates a series of sections with a guide curve.

Stock

Obtain the overall size of a part or create a bounding box (stock) around it. In 2D optimization mode, the box is based along the directions of the active UCS. In 3D optimization mode, the system analyzes and calculates the box orientation and the resulting stock is the minimum bounding box or bounding cylinder around the part. The stock size can be manually manipulated.

Volume Text

Create volumetric text on the part.
