PartDesign Examples

Introduction
Sometimes you need a hint how powerful a tool is, without too much explanation.

This is a collection of examples what can be achieved with certain tools. For detailed explanations see the tool descriptions and search the web for tutorials.

Additive Pipe
PartDesign Additive pipe is a tool to create AdditivePipe objects such as sweep objects, extrusion objects, rotation objects, cylinders, cones, cubes, pyramids, spheres...

Each object is based on at least of two lines (Preferably made with the Sketcher):
 * One outline (yellow), to define the cross-section shape.
 * One path (white), to sweep along.

It is not hard to realise that some objects can be created by other tools, too, but would you have guessed how versatile this tool is without those examples?

Corner Transition
A polyline can be used as a path, and the property Transition influences the shapes of the corners.

Transformed needs special attention as it can produce flat areas where the thickness is 0.
