When creating a groove, or after double-clicking an existing groove in the Tree View, the Groove Parameters task panel is shown. It offers the following settings:
Type offers five different ways of specifying the angle of the groove:
Angle
Enter a numeric value for the Angle of the groove. With the option Symmetric to plane the groove will extend half the given angle to either side of the sketch or face.
Through all
The groove will extend up to the last face of the support it encounters in its direction. With the option Symmetric to plane the groove will cut through all material in both directions.
To first
The groove will extend up to the first face of the support it encounters in its direction.
Up to face
The groove will extend up to a face. Press the Face button and select a face or a datum plane from the Body.
Two angles
This allows to enter a second angle in which the groove should extend in the opposite direction. The directions can be switched by checking the Reversed option.
Start
Sets the angular starting position of the groove around the axis. By default the groove starts at the sketch plane. introduced in 26.3
Profile plane (default): the groove starts directly at the profile's sketch plane.
Offset: the groove starts at an angular offset from the profile, entered in the Start Offset field.
Reference: the groove starts at a face, datum plane, or sketch selected with the Select reference button, set in the Start Reference field.
Axis
Specifies the axis of the groove:
Vertical sketch axis: selects the vertical sketch axis.
Horizontal sketch axis: selects the horizontal sketch axis.
Construction line: selects a construction line from the sketch used by the groove. The dropdown list will contain an entry for each construction line. The first construction line will be labelled Construction line 1.
Base (X/Y/Z)-axis: selects the X-, Y- or Z-axis of the Body's origin.
Select reference…: allows the selection of a straight edge or a datum line from the Body.
Note that when changing the axis, the Reversed option may be (un)checked automatically.
Angle
Defines the angle of the groove. This option is only available if Type is Angle or Two angles. Angles larger than 360° are not possible. Nor are negative values, use the Reversed option instead.
introduced in 1.1: If the Show interactive draggers when editing featurespreference is selected, the angle can be adjusted with an interactive gizmo in the 3D View.
Defines the angle of the groove in the opposite direction. This option is only available if Type is Two angles and Angle is smaller than 360°.
Symmetric to plane
Check this option to extend the groove half the given angle to either side of the sketch or face. This option is only available if Type is Angle or Through all.
Reversed
Reverses the direction of the groove.
Operation
Sets the boolean operation used to combine the groove with the base solid. introduced in 26.3
Subtraction (default): the groove removes the revolved volume from the base solid, as in previous versions.
Common: the groove keeps only the volume shared between the revolved profile and the base solid, discarding everything else.

ДанныеStart Offset (Angle): angular offset between the profile and the start of the groove. Only used if ДанныеStart Type is Offset. introduced in 26.3

Notes
0.21 and below: A ShapeBinder cannot be used for the profile.
0.21 and below: When using a SubShapeBinder for the profile, selecting the binder in the Tree View will fail, instead the binder's face has to be selected in the 3D View.
