| Direction
|
- Forward - The
protrusion is made in the forward direction, relative to the protrusion
profile’s surface normal.
- Both - The
protrusion is made in both directions relative to the protrusion profile's
surface normal.
- Back - The
protrusion is made in the backward direction, relative to the protrusion
profile’s surface normal.
|
| Profile
|
Sets the behavior of the profile after the feature
is created.
- Hide - The profile
is associated with the feature to allow for later modification, but is not
visible. To use or modify the profile again, you will need to use
Show Input Element command from the
reset pop-up menu or the
Show Input Element tool.
- Show - The profile
is associated with the feature to allow for later modification and is visible.
This allows you to quickly reuse the same profile in another 3D operation.
Modifying the profile will affect both operations.
- Copy and Hide -
Similar to
Hide; except that a copy of the profile
is made first, leaving the original profile unassociated. This allows you to
quickly reuse the same profile in another 3D operation that you do not wish to
be associated with the previous feature.

| Through
|
- Up to body - The
protrusion is extended up to the extent of the selected solid or surface. For
example, this option can be used to extend beams up to the wall or column on
which they rest.
- Blind - The
protrusion is made with respect to the distance specified in the
Distance field.
- Selected Face - The
protrusion is made up to the selected face of the solid.
|
| Distance
|
Allows you to define the length of the protrusion.
|
Used to construct a
protrusion on a parametric solid using a closed profile element (shape, complex
shape, circle, or ellipse) in the design, as the protrusion profile.
