To Specify the Part Configuration in Part Builder

Use this procedure to specify the part configuration, defining certain behavior of the new part family you just created (Simple Cylinder 2).

1. In the part browser, expand Part Configuration.
2. To specify the part type, right-click Undefined Part Type, click Edit, and select a part type, such as General Structure.

   The predefined part types are dependent on the selected part domain. For example, for a pipe part, the only available part type choice is “Pipe”. For structure shapes, which are more complex than pipe shapes, there are multiple part type choices, such as general, inlet-outlet structures, junctions structures, and so on.

3. To specify the part subtype, right-click Undefined Bounded Shape, click Edit, and select Cylinder.

   The list of predefined subtypes depends on the selected type. For example for pipes, choices are arched, circular, egg-shaped, elliptical, rectangular, and undefined shape. For structures, you can specify the following subtypes for undefined bounded shapes: box, cylinder, sphere, and undefined.

   If desired, you can also enter a new subtype.

4. Proceed to To Model a Part in Part Builder.
