Feature Icons

The following features can be used to create a 3D-CAD model:


	XY	The XY canonical sketch plane. It cannot be edited or deleted.
	YZ	The YZ canonical sketch plane. It cannot be edited or deleted.
	ZX	The ZX canonical sketch plane. It cannot be edited or deleted.
	Chamfer	Added when a chamfer is applied to edges of a body.
	Circular Pattern	Added when a circular pattern is created from a body.
	Circular Pattern Cut	Added when a circular pattern cut is created from a body.
	Create Sheet Bodies	Added when a sheet body is created from a solid body, or another sheet body.
	Delete Body	Added when a body is deleted.
	Delete Faces	Added when a face is deleted.
	Duplicate Body	Added when a body is duplicated.
	Extract External	Added when the external volume of space around a model is extracted and used to create a new solid body.
	Extract Internal	Added when the internal volume of space within a model is extracted and used to create a new solid body.
	Extrude	Added when a sketch is extruded.
	Extrude Cut	Added when an extrude cut feature is used to remove material from the model by sweeping a sketch in a specific direction.
	Face Sketch	Added when a sketch is created by extracting the edges of a face.
	Filled Surface	Added when a filled surface is created.
	Fillet	Added when a fillet is applied to the edges of a body.
	Import Cad	Added when geometry is imported into 3D-CAD from an external CAD file.
	Imprint	Added when two or more bodies are imprinted onto each other.
	Intersect Bodies	Added when two or more bodies are intersected to find the common volume that is shared by the bodies.
	Linear Pattern	Added when a linear pattern is created from a body.
	Linear Pattern Cut	Added when a linear pattern cut is created from a body.
	Loft	Added when two or more sketches are lofted to create a body.
	Loft Cut	Added when a lofted cut, created from two or more sketches, is used to remove material from the model.
	Mirror Body	Added when one or more bodies is mirrored.
	Move Body	Added when one or more bodies is translated.
	Revolve	Added when a sketch is revolved.
	Revolve Cut	Added when a revolve cut feature is used to remove material from the model by revolving a sketch around an axis.
	Rotate Body	Added when one or more bodies is rotated.
	Scale Body	Added when one or more bodies is scaled.
	Sew Sheet Bodies	Added when one or more sheet bodies are sewn together.
	Sketch	Added when a sketch is created.
	Subtract Bodies	Added when one or more bodies is used to subtract material from a target body.
	Sweep	Added when a sketch is swept along a profile to create a body.
	Sweep Cut	Added when a swept cut, which is created by sweeping a sketch along a profile, is used to remove material from the model.
	Unite Bodies	Added when two or more bodies are united.

Understanding Feature States

If the feature is in its normal state, and it is correctly constructed by the CAD engine, the icon appears as normal. If the feature is not in its normal state, an additional symbol appears on the feature icon to indicate the alternate state. The possible states are shown in the table below:


Status	Description
Rolled Back	The feature is further down the tree than the roll back point and so is not executed in the CAD engine.
Suppressed	The feature, or its parent feature, is suppressed and is not executed in the CAD engine.
Invalid	The CAD engine has failed to update or execute the feature during model construction. Editing an invalid feature can allow you to work out the cause of the problem, and correct it accordingly.
Out-of-Date	Indicates that a feature is out-of-date and requires updating.
Needs Attention	Indicates that a feature requires attention.
