Glossary for Part
Term
Definition
blind
Extrudes a section from the sketching plane by the specified depth value.
corner round
A round created at a point where two or three areas or surfaces meet or intersect.
corner transition
A round transition that is applicable to round pieces converging, meeting, or intersecting at corners.
dependency
A state where one object uses a functionality of another object.
dome
A concave shape whose distinguishing feature is that the concavity faces downward.
draft direction
Direction that is used to measure the draft angle. You can define it by selecting a plane, a straight edge, a datum axis, or an axis of a coordinate system.
draft hinge
Lines or curves on the draft surfaces that the surfaces are pivoted about.
draft surface
The surface of the model that is being drafted.
edit
Edits the dimensions of the selected object.
edit definition
Edits the properties of the selected object.
edit references
Edits the references of the selected object.
envelope
The smallest bar-shaped outline that totally encloses the geometry of the reference model.
extrusion
A manufacturing process where a billet of material is pushed or drawn or both through a die to create a shaped rod, rail, or pipe. The process usually creates long length of the final product and may be continuous or semi-continuous in nature. Some materials are hot drawn whilst other may be cold drawn.
full round
A full round is one in which every part of the surface or the circumference is equidistant from the center.
graph feature
A diagram that exhibits a relationship, often functional, between two sets of numbers as a set of points having coordinates determined by the relationship.
group member
Individual features that belong to a set or group.
helical sweep
A section that is swept along a trajectory.
lip
A protrusion on one part while being a cut on another.
local push
To deform a surface by pushing or pulling on a circular or rectangular region of a surface.
mirrored merge
The consolidation of the features of a mirrored entity.
pattern
A model or feature used as an archetype to create instances.
pattern leader
A feature selected for patterning is called the pattern leader.
protrusion
A part that protrudes or extends outward.
rib
A projecting molding on the underside of a vault.
round set
A group of rounds of the same kind that belong together and are used together.
silhouette
A drawing of the outline of an object, filled in with uniform color.
sparse
Occurring in limited numbers; not very dense.
straight blend
The act of blending components together thoroughly, so that the constituent parts are indistinguishable from one another.
subsection
A section of a section or a part of a part. A part of something already divided.
sweep
To cover or extend over an area.
swept blend
A blend that is influenced by a trajectory on which the blend sections are located.
tangency condition
A surface or curve having contact at a single point or along a line without crossing.
thin feature
A feature that is relatively small from one surface to the opposite surface.
toroidal bend
A ring-shaped surface generated by rotating a circle around an axis that does not intersect the circle
transformation
The process or result of changing from one appearance, state, or phase to another.
tweak
To make minor adjustments to improve the shape of the geometry.
unpattern
An operation on a group pattern that allows you to remove the pattern definition and leave the pattern instances as individual groups.
variation
One that is slightly different from others of the same kind.
