To Define Attachment Options for Offset
You must be on the Offset Geometry tab to perform this procedure.
1. Click the Attachment tab.
2. Set attachment options:
◦ To reattach the offset geometry to the same solid or quilt where it was originally attached, select the Attach offset geometry check box.
◦ To create round or chamfer geometry in the new location after the geometry selection is offset and attached, and to close the gaps created by offsetting geometry, select the Create round/chamfer geometry check box. Available when Attach offset geometry is selected.
◦ To store the attachment properties to use when you reattach the offset geometry to the model, select the Store attachment properties check box. Available when Attach offset geometry is not selected.
◦ To create surfaces that connect edges to cover the gap left when a surface is offset, click the Create side surfaces collector, and then select chains to use to create the surfaces.
▪ To open the Chain dialog box, click Details.
◦ To extend surfaces of the selected offset geometry and the remaining surface until they intersect, click the Extend and intersect collector, and then select chains to use to create the surfaces.
▪ To open the Chain dialog box, click Details.
◦ To collect edges that act as boundaries for geometry, click the Bounding edges collector, and then select chains to use to create the surfaces.
▪ To open the Chain dialog box, click Details.
◦ To cycle through the available solutions, click Next to find the next solution, or click Previous to find the previous solution when multiple solutions exist.
◦ To fail regeneration when the model changes and the same solution type cannot be reconstructed, select the Maintain solution topology check box.
