Sketch-based Features in the Model Tree
If you create a section or select a parent Sketch feature, the resulting independent or dependent section resides within its respective sketch-based feature. This is illustrated in the table below:
Model Tree
Description
Sketch 2 is the parent Sketch feature to the Fill feature, Fill 1. Notice that there is a different sketch icon indicating a parent (referenced) Sketch feature.
Sketch 1 is not being referenced by a sketch-based feature.
Protrusion id 39 uses an independent section (S2D0012). Notice the section name is different.
Fill 1 (Fill feature) uses a dependent section (Sketch 2) copied from the parent Sketch feature having the same name.
