This document describes the types of rules that can be applied to models that have advanced feature parameters captured.
Driving advanced feature dimensions increases model generation time. Where possible capture feature dimensions (distances, numbers and angles) as dimensions rather than an advanced feature parameter.
During model generation captured dimensions are driven before captured advanced feature parameters. If the advanced feature parameter has also been captured as a dimension the value being driven into the advanced feature parameter will override the captured dimension.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Distance | Distance | Set the extension distance |
| Type | One of the following values: Linear SameSurface | A linear type extension will extend normal to the sketch plane A SameSurface type extension will be a continuation of the curvature of the original surface |
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| D1Depth | Distance | Set the extrusion depth in direction 1 |
| D2Depth | Distance | Set the extrusion depth in direction 2 |
| D1ReverseOffset | True/False | Set the offset direction of an an OffsetFromSurface extrusion in direction 1 |
| D2ReverseOffSet | True/False | Set the offset direction of an an OffsetFromSurface extrusion in direction 2 |
| ReverseDirection | True/False | Reverse the direction of a single direction extrusion |
| BothDirections | True/False | Set the surface to extrude in both directions 1 and 2 |
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Distance | Number | Sets the offset distance for this surface offset feature |
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| D1Angle | Angle | Set the revolution angle in direction 1 |
| D2Angle | Angle | Set the revolution angle in direction 2 |
| ReverseDirection | True/False | Set the revolution direction for a single direction revolve |
| Type | Integer | Sets the type of Surface Revolve.
Requires one of the following values: 0 = One direction revolution using the angle specified in D1 Angle. 1 = MidPlane where D1 Angle is applied about the mid-plane. 2 = Two direction revolution using the angles specified in D1 Angle and D2 Angle. 3 = One direction 360° revolve. 4 = Mid-plane 360° revolve. 5 = Two direction 360° revolve where D1 Angle and the remainder to 360° is applied to direction two. |
