Creo Parametric Modeling with Augmented Reality

CHAPTER 43D Features/Modifiers

4.1 Introduction

Individual elements such as line, planes, and edges of a circle in two‐dimensional sketch comprise a three‐dimensional (3D) object or part as discussed in Chapter 2. In this chapter, we will learn how to develop a 3D part and its features with 3D tools such as directional and radial patterns, as well as hole tools.

CHAPTER OBJECTIVES

• 3D model development
• 3D tools and constraints
• Radial and directional patterns

E1 EXERCISE 1 Radial Pattern (Bearing)

• Set up a new working directory and start a new part (Chapter 2).
• Name the part “Bearing.” (Figure 4.1)

  Note: We will choose inlbs_part_solid as template.

• Click “Sketch” tool from the ribbon → Select “Front” plane → Click “Sketch” button on the dialog box.
• On the Display Toolbar, Click “Sketch View” button to orient the sketching plane parallel to the screen.
• Select “Circle” tool from the ribbon and draw a circle. (Note: You can use revolve tool as well).
• Hit escape and change the dimension to 140‐in. diameter. (Figure 4.2).
