Extruded boss

The Extruded boss operation allows you to easily add material on a solid by extruding a profile along the normal to its plane.

To produce the extruded boss:

1. Draw the profile of the extrusion. It can be:

   • a Sketch drawn on a planar face of the initial shape you want to boss.

   • any closed edge or wire of this shape (circle, ellipse ...).

2. In the Main Menu select Operations - > Extruded Boss or click on

   

3. Fill in the dialog box fields:

   

The input arguments are:

• The initial shape you want to add material on. It must be a solid or a compound made of a single solid.
• The profile. It must be a closed edge or wire and it must be planar.

And optionally:

• A draft angle in degrees. Activated by clicking on
  

The direction can be reversed by pushing the Change direction button:

This functionality is available via the textual interface with the command:
