Solid Body Creation when Extending Face by Line Law

To create a body, do the following:

Realize all the steps of surface creation given above.

1)Change the Thickness parameter from the variant No to a variant from the list.

Outside. The surface offset direction coincides with the surface normal.

Inside. The surface offset direction is opposite to the surface normal.

Symmetric. The surface offset is done along and transverse to the normal, symmetrically relative to the surface.

Different. If this variant is selected, you can set different surface offset values for inwards and outwards directions.

2)Set the offset. Specify the surface offset length in the Offset field. In case the thickness variant Different is selected, there will be two input fields available: Offset (outside) and Offset (inside), determining surface offset values for inwards and outwards directions.

3)Select the rounding variant from the list.

No. No rounding is performed.

Edges. End edges of the body are rounded at a given radius.

Faces. End faces of the body are rounded at a radius equal to half the thickness: end faces are cylindrical surfaces.

4)In case Edges rounding variant is selected, specify rounding radius in the Radius field.  

5)In case it is necessary to round external edges at fractures, select the Round variant in the Kinks parameter. If the variants No or Faces are selected in the Rounding parameter, rounding will be performed at a radius equal to half the body thickness. If the Edges variant is selected, rounding will be performed at the radius set in the Radius field.

6)Select a Boolean operation variant from the list.

No. No Boolean operation is performed.

Addition. The body with the initial face and the body being created are joined together.

Subtraction. The body being created is subtracted from the body with the initial face. The option is only available for solid body modeling.

A Boolean operation can be performed only in the case when the body with the initial face and the body being created are of the same type: a surface body can be joined with another surface body only, a solid body – with a solid body. In case the body with the initial face and the body being created are of different types, the finish operation button is not available.

7)Finish the command by means of .
