Cut Features

This document describes the types of rules that can be applied to models that have advanced feature parameters captured.

Driving advanced feature dimensions increases model generation time. Where possible capture feature dimensions (distances, numbers and angles) as dimensions rather than an advanced feature parameter.

During model generation captured dimensions are driven before captured advanced feature parameters. If the advanced feature parameter has also been captured as a dimension the value being driven into the advanced feature parameter will override the captured dimension.

Cut Extrude

ParameterTypeDescription
D1DepthDistanceSet the Depth for the extrusion in direction 1. In the case of an OffsetFromSurface end condition, set the offset distance in direction 1.
