Session Summary

The following topics were discussed and demonstrated during this session.   Please make sure the following topics are understood before proceeding to the next session.

A 2D profile can be revolved about an axis to produce a solid object. A spiral shape can be produced by providing the number of coils and the spiral pitch.

By using the Workplane optionShow/Hide Workplane Intersections the planar intersection between the object and the Workplane is displayed.

Solid objects which are used to subtract volume from a primary solid are referred to as subtracting units.

Objects which are duplicated using tools such as Array or Radial Copy are handled in a similar manner to that used in 2D.  The result is dependent on the alignment of the Workplane / User CS.

The Thread tool applies a thread to a cylindrical face of an object by defining the pitch and the length of the thread. Internal threads can be created when a cylindrical shape is subtracted from the body of a solid.
