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.
