Description |
Slab |
(3D only) Used to place an extruded solid with a rectangular cross-section. |
Cylinder |
(3D only) Used to place a solid cylinder. |
Sphere |
|
Cone |
|
Torus |
(3D only) Used to place a torus (a donut-shaped surface or solid). |

Description |
Extrude |
(3D only) Used to create a solid generated by linearly extruding a profile element (text, shape, or complex shape, B-spline surface, face of a surface or solid element) a defined distance. |
Extrude Along |
|
Thicken |
(3D only) Used to add thickness to an existing surface to create a solid. |
Revolve |
Used to create a solid of revolution - a complex 3D element that is generated by rotating a profile element (ellipse, shape, complex chain, complex shape, or closed B-spline curve) about an axis of revolution. |

Description |
Cut |
Used to cut solids using a profile. It requires at least one 2D profile and a solid to operate. |
Fillet |
(3D only) Used to fillet, or round, one or more edges of a solid, projected surface, or a surface of revolution. |
Chamfer |
(3D only) Used to chamfer one or more edges of a solid, projected surface, or a surface of revolution. |
Hole |
Constructs a simple, counterbore, or countersunk hole in a feature-based solid. |
Protrude |
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. |
Shell |
(3D only) Used to create a hollowed out solid having faces of a defined thickness. |
Sweep Edge |
Used to place a cut or protrusion along a path defined by edges of a parametric solid using a profile. |
Imprint |
Used to create edge on a solid by drawing a line, line string, block, circle, shape, imprinting a curve, or by creating an offset copy of an existing edge. |
Taper Face |
Used to taper one or more faces on a solid. |
Spin Face |
Used to spin, or rotate, one or more faces of a solid about an axis. |
