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 |
|---|---|---|
| PropagateToTangentFaces | True/False | Set the fillet to propagate to tangent edges and faces. |
| OverflowType | One of the following values: Default KeepEdge KeepSurface | Set OverflowType as Default to allow SOLIDWORKS to choose from one of the following options. Set OverflowType as KeepEdge to create a fillet that maintains the integrity of any edges it intersects. Set OverflowType as Default to create a smooth fillet that modifies intersecting edges. |
| CrossSectionProfile | One of the following values: Circular ConicRho ConicRadius | Set profile as circular to create a fillet with a constant radius. Set profile as ConicRho to create a fillet with a shoulder defined by ratio Rho. 0.05 < Rho 0.95. Set profile as ConicRho to create a fillet with a shoulder defined by the radius at the shoulder point. |
| TransitionType | One of the following values: SmoothTransition StraightTransition | Set TransitionType as SmoothTransition to create a smooth transition between the different radii. Set TransitionType as StraightTransition to create a direct transition between the different radii. |
