Faces to Dome |
Select one or more planar or non-planar faces.
|
| |
Distance |
Set a value for the distance by which the dome expands.
|
 |
Reverse Direction |
Click to create a concave dome (default is convex).
|
 |
Constraint Point or Sketch |
Control the dome feature by selecting a sketch that contains points to constrain the shape of the sketch. When you use a sketch containing points as a constraint, the Distance is disabled.
|
 |
Direction |
Click Direction , and select a direction vector from the graphics area to extrude the dome in a direction other than normal to the face. As a direction vector, you can use a linear edge or the vector created by two sketch points.

Elliptical dome |
Specify an elliptical dome for cylindrical or conical models. An elliptical dome's shape is a half ellipsoid, with a height equal to one of the ellipsoid radii.
Example: Creating an Elliptical Dome |
| |
Continuous dome |
Specify a continuous dome for polygonal models. A continuous dome's shape slopes upwards, evenly on all sides. If you clear Continuous dome, the shape rises normal to the edges of the polygon.
Example: Creating a Continuous Dome Continuous dome is not available for four-sided polygons or when you use a Constraint Point or Sketch or a Direction vector.

On cylindrical and conical models, you can set Distance to 0. The software calculates the distance using the radius of the arc as a basis for the dome. It creates a dome that is tangent to the adjacent cylindrical or conical face.
