Limiting Elements

The Limiting Element(s) option limits the face to be drafted by selecting one or more faces or planes that intersect it completely. To know how to use this option, see Basic Draft.

Contextual commands creating the limiting elements you need are available from the Limiting Element(s) box:


  • Create Plane: for more information, see Generative Shape Design User's Guide: Creating Wireframe Geometry: Creating Planes..
  • XY Plane: the XY plane of the current coordinate system origin (0,0,0) becomes the limiting element.
  • YZ Plane: the YZ plane of the current coordinate system origin (0,0,0) becomes the limiting element.
  • ZX Plane: the ZX plane of the current coordinate system origin (0,0,0) becomes the limiting element.
  • Create Join: joins surfaces or curves. See Generative Shape Design User's Guide: Performing Operations on Shape Geometry: Joining Surfaces or Curves..
  • Create Extrapol: extrapolates surface boundaries or curves. See Generative Shape Design User's Guide: Performing Operations on Shape Geometry: Extrapolating Surfaces and Extrapolating Curves..

If you create any of these elements, the application then displays the corresponding icon next to the Limiting Elements box. Clicking this icon enables you to edit the element.

Filleted Edges

Using the command described in this task, you can draft faces after filleting edges, as illustrated in the example below:

The application detects the reflect line on the selected fillet.

The face is drafted.
