Defining Extraction Properties

You can define an extraction properties feature for later use in a core extraction feature and a cavity extraction feature. It allows you to define whether the protected volumes of the 3D shape representation should contribute to the output of a subsequent core extraction feature or to the output of a subsequent cavity extraction feature.

  1. Right-click Body.1 and select Define In Work Object.

    The extraction properties feature being created will belong to the Functional Body of the In Work Object, in this case Solid Functional Set.1.
