      NX 9 for Beginners - Part 2 (Extrude and Revolve Features, Placed Features, and Patterned Geometry) - CADfolks

      Extrude and Revolve Features

      Extrude and revolve features are used to create basic and simple parts. Most of the times, they form the base for complex parts as well. These features are easy to create and require a single sketch. Now, you will learn the commands to create these features.

      The topics covered in this chapter are:

      Constructing Extrude and Revolve features in the Modeling template

      Creating Reference Planes

      Additional Options in the Extrude and Revolve commands

      Extrude Features

      Extrude is the process of taking a two-dimensional profile and converting it into 3D by giving it some thickness. A simple example of this would be taking a circle and converting it into a cylinder. Once you have created a sketch profile or profiles you want to Extrude, activate the Extrude command (On the ribbon click Home > Feature > Extrude). Click on the sketch profile to add thickness to the sketch. Type-in a value in the End box and press Enter to create the Extrude feature.

      You can use the Symmetric Value option on the dialog to add equal thickness on both sides of the sketch.

      On the dialog, click OK to complete the Extrude feature.

      Revolve Features

      Revolve is the process of taking a two-dimensional profile and revolving it about a centerline to create a 3D geometry (shapes that are axially symmetric). While creating a sketch for the Revolve feature, it is important to think about the cross-sectional shape that will define the 3D geometry once it is revolved about an axis. For instance, the following geometry has a hole in the center. This could be created with a separate Cut or Hole feature. But in order to make that hole part of the Revolve feature, you need to sketch the axis of revolution so that it leaves a space between the profile and the axis.

      After completing the sketch, activate the Revolve command (On the ribbon, click Home > Feature > Design Feature Drop-down > Revolve). Click on the sketch to define the section of the Revolve feature. On the dialog, click Specify Vector under the Axis section. Click on a line to define the axis of revolution. The sketch will be revolved by full 360 degrees. If you want to enter an angle of revolution, type-in a value in the End box and press Enter. On the dialog, click OK to complete the Revolve feature.
