Session Summary

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

2D profiles can be drawn using the 3D model as a reference.

The Edit tool is used to modify the nodes of the contour.

Profiles which are drawn to produce a solid object, can be dimensioned, then saved in the Blocks palette for later use.

Extrusions can be created using an extrusion draft angle.  This will produce a taper which deviates from the perpendicular path.

The Assembly tools are used to assemble the final model from the various components.

A facet can be removed from a solid by converting it into a surface, then using the Facet Editor tool to remove the required facet.

A 3D profile can be swept along a predetermined path defined by another 2D profile.  The extruded profile can be tapered or twisted.
