Cylinder QuickShapeUse this command to create a Cylinder QuickShape feature.  This is similar to the Extrude Shape command using a circular profile but this command only requires three points.  The standard Base, Add, Remove and Intersect methods are supported.  Optionally, you can align the cylinder with a plane.

 

Required Inputs

 

Select the feature type icon. For the Add, Remove and Intersect types, the topology of the active part will be altered by the feature.  The Base option is automatically selected if the active part has no shape geometry.

 

 

Base Method

Base - A separate base feature will be created.  Base features are used to define the initial basic shape of a part.

Add Method

Add - A shape will be created and then added to the active part.

Remove Method

Remove - A shape will be created and removed from the active part.

Intersect Method

Intersect - A shape will be created and then intersected with the active part.
