Boss

Creates extruded areas in a surface or polysurface based on a planar curve.

Steps:

1. Select planar curves.

2. Select a surface or polysurface boundary.

   The curve(s) are extruded normal to the curve plane toward the boundary object. The boundary object is trimmed and joined with the extruded object.

   Note: If a curve is inside a target (for example, circle inside a box), then a hole is created.

Options

Mode

Sets the style for the extrusion.

Straight

Extrudes the curves straight.

Tapered

Extrudes the curves  with a draft angle.

DraftAngle

Sets the angle of the taper.

Rib

Steps:

1. Select planar curves to rib.

2. Select a boundary.

Options

Offset

The offset direction relative to the input curve.

InCurvePlane

Use when the input curve describes the rib in plan view.  

NormalToCurvePlane

Use when the rib curve describes the rib in elevation view.

Distance

The offset distance

Mode

Straight

Extrudes the curve straight to the boundary.

Tapered

Extrudes the curves to the boundary with a draft angle.

DraftAngle

Sets the angle of the taper.
