This property is initially set according to the user's settings (found in Preferences → Part design → General → Model settings). Cleans up residual edges left after the operation. Data Up To Face: A face the pocket will extrude up to, see Options.Otherwise and if Data Use Custom Vector is used, it is measured along the custom direction. Data Along Sketch Normal: introduced in version 0.20 If true, the pocket length is measured along the sketch normal.Data Direction: introduced in version 0.20 Vector of the pocket direction if Data Use Custom Vector is used.Data Use Custom Vector: introduced in version 0.20 If checked, the pocket direction will not be the normal vector of the sketch but the given vector, see Options.Data Length2: Second pocket length in case the Data Type is TwoLengths, see Options.Data Length: Defines the length of the pocket, see Options.Data Type: Type of ways how the pocket will be extruded, see Options.This is done to facilitate the design of molds and molded parts. Note that inner structures receive the opposite taper angle.

This option is only available if Type is Two dimensions.

A positive angle means the outer pocket border gets wider. Tapers the pocket in the opposite extrusion direction by the given angle. Multiple units can be used independently of the user's units preferences (m, cm, mm, nm, ft or ', in or ").

The pocket will extrude up to a face in the model that can be chosen by clicking on it. In other words, it will cut through all material until it reaches an empty space. The pocket will extrude up to the first face of the support in the extrusion direction. If you need deeper pockets, use the type Dimension. Note: For technical reasons, Through All is actually a 10 meter deep pocket. With the option Symmetric to plane the pad will cut through all material in both directions. The pocket will extrude through all objects in the extrusion direction.

With the option Symmetric to plane the pocket will extend half of the given length to either side of the plane. This can be changed by specifying another Direction introduced in version 0.20. Extrusions occur by default normal to the defining sketch plane. The default direction for extrusion is into the support, but it can be changed by ticking the Reversed option. Type offers five different ways of specifying the length to which the pocket will be extruded:Įnter a numeric value for the length of the pocket.
