Solidify (Patch) Feature Conditions

Part Modeling > Edit Features > Solidify > Solidify (Patch) Feature Conditions

Because the solidify (patch) feature will often simultaneously add and remove material, additional conditions are required to create the feature. To define a solidify patch feature your quilt selection must satisfy one of the following conditions, otherwise the patch option is not available.

Condition	Example
• Open Quilt • All boundaries lie on solid surfaces • Solid geometry does not intersect quilt • Quilt is totally outside solid geometry
• Open Quilt • All boundaries lie on solid surfaces • Quilt is totally inside solid geometry
• All boundaries lie on solid surfaces • Solid geometry intersects quilt
