Chapter 3. Features

Chapter Objectives

• Learn about the Features tools

• Learn how to draw 3D objects

• Learn how to use Features tools to create objects

3-1 Introduction

This chapter introduces the Features tools. Features tools are used to create 3D models. A drawing usually starts with a 2D sketch as described in Chapter 2 and Features tools are applied to create a 3D model. For example, the Extruded Boss/Base features tool can be applied to a rectangle to create a rectangular prism or box. Figure 3-1 shows the Features tool panel.
