Part Overview

The Part Modeling Help describes the design intent and the basic procedures of feature-based modeling. Refer to these topics for high-level information on using the Part Modeling environment, tools, and basic techniques for the first phase of designing, that is, part creation. For a detailed overview, skim the Creo Help contents. Using Part Modeling, you can start with the creation of simple geometric features and progress to the creation of complex features and parts.
