Rib Feature

Used to construct a rib between two faces of a solid.

To delete ribs, use the Delete Feature tool.
To edit ribs, use the Modify Parametric Solid or Feature tool, or edit within the Feature Manager. Editing an existing rib allows you to change the parameters used to construct it initially.
