-
Click Extrude
.
The Extruded Surface Definition dialog box appears. |
|
-
Select the Profile to be extruded (Sketch.1).
-
Specify the desired extrusion Direction (xy
plane).
|
-
You can
select a line to take its orientation as the extrusion direction or
a plane to take its normal as extrusion direction.
-
You can
also specify the direction by means of X, Y, Z vector components by
using the contextual menu
on the Direction field.
-
By
default, a normal direction to the plane, on which the profile
lies is selected. You need to specify the direction, when a line
is selected as a profile to be extruded.
|
-
Define the Extrusion Limits for Limit 1 and Limit 2.
|
|
Up-to element:
select a geometric element. It can be a point, a plane or a
surface (wires are not allowed).
If a point is specified, the up-to element is the plane normal to the
extrusion direction passing through the given point. |
Here we selected Point.1 as Limit 1 and Plane.1 as
Limit 2. |
|
You can also select different extrusion limits, for
instance a Dimension for Limit 1 and an Up-to element for Limit 2: |
|
|
- The Up-to element can intersect the profile and the surface to
be extruded. In the later case, it must completely cut the surface
and there should not be any partial intersections of the up-to
element with the surface.
- If you select two up-to elements, they must not cut each other
within the surface to be extruded.
|
-
Select the
Mirrored Extent
check box
to extrude the profile in the opposite direction using the same
dimension value as the one defined for the first dimension.
This option is only available with the
Dimension type.
-
You can click Reverse Direction or the red arrow in
the 3D geometry to display the extrusion on the other side of the
selected profile.
-
Click OK to create the surface.
The surface (identified as Extrude.xxx) is added to
the specification tree. |
