Legacy Modify Solids Toolbox

Tools in the Legacy Modify Solids toolbox are deprecated, most of which have been superceded with new parametric tools found in Features and Modify Features toolboxes.

Tools in the Legacy Modify Solids toolbox were used to:

  • modify, taper, or remove faces of a solid
  • construct a single solid from the union, intersection, or difference of existing solids
  • place cuts, fillets, or chamfers on existing solids
  • edit existing 3D primitive elements


All tools in a toolbox are not always visible by default. To see all tools, right-click in the toolbox and select Show All from the menu.

To Select in the Legacy Modify Solids toolbox
Create a new edge on an existing solid.


Draw on Solid
Relocate inwards or outwards one or more faces of a solid.


Modify Solid Entity
Delete an entity from a solid.


Delete Solid Entity
Taper one or more faces of a solid.


Taper Face
Hollow out a solid to create a solid with walls of constant thickness.


Shell Solid
Replace a selected face of a solid with an existing surface.


Replace Face
Construct a single solid that is the union of two or more existing (overlapping) solids.


Unite Solids
Construct a single solid that is the intersection of two or more existing (overlapping) solids.


Intersect Solids
Construct a single solid by subtracting the volume of one or more (overlapping) solids from another.
Subtract Solids
Trims two solids to their common intersection or trims one solid to its intersection with a second solid.


Trim Solids
Create a cut, slot, or pocket in a solid.


Cut Solids by Curves
Fillet one or more edges of a solid.


Fillet Edges
Chamfer one or more edges of a solid.


Chamfer Edges
Modify the dimensions of existing 3D primitive elements.
