Specifying Find Parameters for Boss or Cut Extrudes

The Find: Boss Extrude Parameters and Find: Cut Extrude Parameters dialog boxes let you specify Find parameters for extrusions. The following parameters are available:

Direction1

  • Start Condition. Select a start condition to find. If Offset, set an Offset value.

  • End Condition. Select an end condition to find.

  • Depth. Set a value for the depth of the extrude feature.

    Toggle to change the comparison symbols >, <, and =.

  • With Draft. Select to find extrusions by their draft angle. Set an Angle to find extruded features with drafts at a specified angle.

Toggle to change the comparison symbols, if necessary.

  • Set the following parameters to find extrudes with the specified settings. Select Any, On, or Off.

    • Merge Result (Boss extrudes only)

    • Flip Side to Cut (Cut extrudes only)

    • Reverse Offset and Translate Surface (For Offset From Surface as End Condition only)

    • Direction2. If you select On, set the options similar to Direction1.

  • Thin Feature. Select to find thin feature extrusions.

    • Type. Select an option.

    • Thickness. Set a value for T1 and T2 (Two-Direction only).

For extrudes created in both directions, only one direction must satisfy the Find criteria to find the feature. For example, a boss extrude has a depth of 5mm in the first direction and 2mm in the second direction. If you Find all extrudes < 3mm, the boss extrude is found because the second direction is less than 3mm.
