Cutting Tools

You can use features to cut a solid model. The model can be a single part or a multibody part.

To cut a solid model with any of these tools:

1. Display the base model you want to cut.

2. Create the sketches, based on the feature to use as the cutting tool.

The feature you select depends on your base model and the shape you want the cut to produce. Cutting tools on the Features toolbar include:

• Extruded Cut

• Revolved Cut

• Swept Cut . You can also cut material using a solid sweep, where you sweep a tool body along a path.

• Lofted Cut

• Boundary Cut

• Thickened Cut

• Cut with Surface

3. Use the feature to cut the base model.
