Description
Sets the end point for the extrusion. A positive value projects the extrusion away from
the work plane. A negative value projects the extrusion toward the work plane.
Sets the start point of the extrusion. For example, a start point of -2000 mm and an end
point of 3000 mm creates an extrusion with a depth of 5000 mm. A positive value projects
the extrusion away from the sketching plane. A negative value projects the extrusion to-
ward the sketching plane.
Sets whether the extrusion is visible in a project. If the check box is selected, the extrusion
is visible. If the check box is cleared, the extrusion is not visible.
Sets the geometry as a subcategory to a family category. See
page 395. The default is None.
Description
Sets the size of the arc for the revolved geometry. The default is 360 degrees.
Sets the start point of the arc. The default is 0.
Sets the geometry as a subcategory to a family category. See
page 395. The default is None.
Sets whether the revolve is visible in a project. If the check box is selected, the revolve is
visible. If the check box is cleared, the revolve is not visible.
Switches solid geometry from a cut to a solid. This switch is effective if you create a
complex geometry cut and want to copy the shape of that cut and change it to a solid.
For example, if you cut a complex sweep out of an extrusion, you might want to copy
that sweep shape and use it as a solid.
