Double-click an extruded surface, and use the tabs of the Extrusion dialog to edit it:
Dimensions tab
Use this tab to specify the dimensions of the extruded surface:
- Name — Edit the name of the selected extrusion.
- Direction 1
- Length — This is the Length of the extrusion. The length can be zero if the length specified in Direction 2 is non-zero.
- Draft Angle — This is the
Draft Angle from the base of the extrusion. The angle is measured from the axis normal to the principal plane:
- Direction 2
- Length — This is the negative length of the extrusion.
- Draft Angle — This is the draft angle of the extrusion in the negative length:
When you enter a value, the model updates dynamically to reflect the change.
- Select Equal lengths to set the same Length for Direction 1 and Direction 2.
- If required, click
to check that the draft angle is constant.
- Click
to
Reverse direction. This reverses the surface so the outside of the surface becomes the inside, and the inside becomes the outside.
Workspace tab
Use this tab to edit the workspace options for the surface of revolution, in the same way as the Primitive Surface dialog - Workspace tab, except for the following unique options:
- Skew — If selected, any changes to the workplane will change the direction of the extrusion without affecting the base curve. If deselected, then changes to the workplane will change the orientation and position of the whole extrusion.
— This makes the Z axis of the workplane perpendicular to the plane in which the base curve lies. If the base curve is non-planar then the plane of best fit is calculated.
Sketch tab
Use this tab in the same way as the Sketch tab on the Revolution dialog.
