Part Workbench/zh-tw

Introduction

The Part Workbench can also create objects that are not solids, such as faces, shells, and objects with only edges or vertices. It also provides a variety of general purpose tools for geometry manipulation, geometry validation, and making copies.

The PartDesign Workbench uses an alternative workflow for creating solids. For a detailed discussion of the Part Workbench versus the Part Design Workbench see Part and Part Design.

Part tools toolbar

• Create sketch: Creates a new sketch and opens the Sketcher Dialog to edit it.

• Extrude: Extrudes planar faces.

• Revolve: Creates a solid by revolving an object (not a solid) around an axis.

• Mirror: Mirrors the selected object across a mirror plane.

• Scale: Scales one or more shapes. introduced in version 1.0

• Fillet: Fillets (rounds) edges of an object.

• Chamfer: Chamfers edges of an object.

• Make face from wires: Makes a face from a set of wires (contours).

• Ruled Surface: Creates a ruled surface.

• Loft: Lofts from one profile to another.

• Sweep: Sweeps one or more profiles along a path.

• Section: Creates a section by intersecting an object with a section plane.

• Cross sections...: Creates one or more cross-sections through an object.

• Offset:

• 3D Offset: Constructs a parallel shape at a certain distance from an original.

• 2D Offset: Constructs a parallel wire at certain distance from an original, or enlarges/shrinks a planar face.

• Thickness: Hollows out a solid.

• Projection on surface: Projects a logo, text or any face, wire or edge onto a surface.

• Color per face: Assigns colors to individual faces of objects.

Boolean toolbar

• Compound:

• Make compound: Creates a compound from the selected objects.

• Explode compound: Splits up compounds.

• Compound Filter: Extracts the individual pieces from compounds.

• Boolean: Performs boolean operations on two objects.

• Cut: Cuts one object from another.

• Union: Fuses two or more objects.

• Intersection: Extracts the common part of two objects.

• Join:

• Connect objects: Connects interiors of walled objects.

• Embed object: Embeds a walled object into another walled object.

• Cutout for object: Creates a cutout in a wall of an object for another walled object.

• Split:

• Boolean fragments: Creates all pieces obtained from Boolean operations.

• Slice apart: Slices and splits an object by intersecting it with other objects.

• Slice to compound: Slices an object by intersecting it with other objects.

• Boolean XOR: Removes space shared by an even number of objects.

• Check geometry: Checks the geometry of selected objects for errors.

• Defeaturing: Removes features from an object.

Other tools

• Import CAD file...: Imports from *.IGES, *.STEP, or *.BREP files.

• Export CAD file...: Exports to *.IGES, *.STEP, or *.BREP files.

• Box selection: Selects faces from a rectangular area.

• Create shape from mesh: Creates shapes from mesh objects.

• Create points object from geometry: Creates points objects from geometric objects.

• Convert to solid: Creates solids from shape objects.

• Reverse shapes: Creates parametric copies with reversed face normals from selected objects.

• Create a copy:

• Create simple copy: Creates non-parametric copies of objects.

• Create transformed copy: Creates non-parametric copies of objects. It is intended for objects nested in containers.

• Create shape element copy: Creates non-parametric copies of subelements: vertices, edges and faces.

• Refine shape: Creates parametric copies with a refined shape from selected objects. It removes unnecessary edges from planar and cylindrical faces.

• Attachment...: Attaches an object to one or more other objects.
