Adding Surface Details to a Body

In this example, you form the intersection of a surface body with a flat solid body to provide detail to the solid body. First, you open the model and examine the surface detail to add to the solid body.

  1. Open install_dir\samples\whatsnew\surfaces\intake_cover.sldprt.

    This model has two entities to intersect: a surface body and a solid body.

    The separate surface and solid bodies in this part are coincident, but also intersect, since the surface is not flat.

  2. In the FeatureManager design tree, click Solid Bodies(1), and click Hide menu_Hide_Show.gif to view the surface body.
