Benefits and Description
The Auto collect all solid surfaces shrinkwrap feature option copies all the solid surfaces of components included in an assembly to an assembly feature or to a feature in a part activated in the assembly.
Solid surfaces in a part feature can be solidified.
When defining the Shrinkwrap, you can peform the following operations:
- Specify what parts of an assembly contribute to the resulting Shrinkwrap geometry
- Solidify the resulting Shrinkwrap geometry (part feature)
- Fill contours (holes) on selected surfaces
- Display filled (removed) holes with a yellow curve
Filling contours such that a cavity is enclosed removes the cavity from the Shrinkwrap geometry.
