If you are working with a solid model, you can recognize a limited set of Boss features automatically. In general, it is recommended that you use the AFR wizard for parts with Boss features. For a set of faces to be recognized as a Boss automatically, the following conditions must be met:
- The Boss must have a flat top.
- The Boss must have walls all the way around it.
- If the part has multiple bosses at the same Z height, they must be included in a single Boss feature. (If they are not, each boss cuts away the other). The surface of each individual boss must be the same for them to be included as a single feature.
Bottom radii are recognized. Chamfers are not recognized, but you can add them in the Feature Properties dialog. Drafted bosses cannot be recognized automatically. You must use Chain feature curves option to recognize drafted features.
