Solidify Feature
Solidify features are used to create complex geometry that would be difficult to create using regular solid features.
Solidify features use predetermined surface features or quilt geometry and convert them into solid geometry. You can use Solidify features to add, remove, or replace solid material in the designs. The quilt geometry provides greater flexibility within the design, and the Solidify feature enables the designer to transform the geometry to meet design needs.
The attributes of the Solidify feature are:
• Patch—Replaces a portion of the surface with quilt. The quilt boundary must lie on the surface.
• Add Material—Fills a quilt with solid material.
• Remove Material—Removes material from inside or outside a quilt.

Note:
|
add material and remove material attributes are always available. Patch is available only if the selected quilt boundaries lie on solid geometry.
