Protrution Overview Day2-Solidedge

Additional Protrusions.

When additional protrusions are added, there are more options available on the extents step of the ribbon bar. In addition to From/To Extent and Finite Extent are Through All and Through Next. The Through All option creates a protrusion that extends across the entire part. When this option is activated, there is a small red arrow that displays. This is the direction of the feature and it can be set to up, down, or both sides of the profile. The Through Next option extends the protrusion until it collides the next face on the solid. You will need to set the direction of the protrusion just like the Through All option.

Symmetrical/Non-Symmetrical.

With any protrusion, you can use the Symmetrical or Non-Symmetrical option for most of the extent options.

Treatment Features.

Protrusion features have the capability of applying a treatment. There are two different treatment options, Drafts and Crowns. The Draft treatment applies an angle to any face that is perpendicular the profile plane. This option is great for applying tapers to plastic parts or cast features. The Crown treatment applies a radial treatment to all faces that are perpendicular to the profile plane. For cosmetic parts, this provides a softer look to the part and still allows the feature to be cast or molded.
