Direction Extension

Required Step 2

Create faces that are extended in a specified direction.

A direction is always set for these extensions. This direction should point to the direction of the extension (usually the + Z direction). The direction is represented by an arrow.

The length options are:

• Length

• Minimum Direction

• To Plane

• To Point

• To Blank

Specify the length.

Minimum Distance

Create a directional extension to a minimum distance, in the extension direction, from the furthest point on the contour.

To Plane

Indicate the plane to which the faces must extend.

To Point

Create a directional extension to a specified point.

Indicate the point to which the faces must extend.

To Blank

Create a directional extension up to the faces of the blank.

Note: If the extension faces exceed the boundaries of the blank, they will be trimmed.
