Extrusion-Depth (default = see Application-Settings> Auto-Profile tab)

The distance to the Secondary contour from the Primary contour, along the +Z-axis of the Part.

Extrusion-Depth must be positive. Minimum value = 0.001mm

Extrusion-Offset (default = 0)

The distance to the Primary Contour from the dimension that is specified by Part-Offset.

Extrusion-Offset can be negative or positive.

Part-Offset (default = 0)

Applies to ALL Extrusions in a Part.

The distance to the Primary Contour from the Mechanism-Plane to which we add the distance specified by the Extrusion-Offset parameter.

Part-Offset can be negative or positive.

Note: Distance to Primary contour from Mechanism-Plane = Part Offset + Extrusion Offset

The Primary and Secondary Contours of the Profile:

Sketch-Loop

Primary-Contour

Secondary-Contour

Z-axis is perpendicular(⊥) to the Mechanism-Plane

Show Extrusion

To show or hide the Extrusion

Note: To hide Profile contours, see Display toolbars > Show/Hide Profiles

Color

Button to select the color of the Extrusion with the Windows® Color-Picker

Transparency (slider)

Slider to change the Transparency (1/Opacity) of the Extrusion in the graphics-area

Graphics Quality (slider)

Slider to change the Graphics Quality of the Extrusion

Note: To update to a different Graphics Quality, you may need to edit the Part in the Part-Editor and then close the Part-Editor immediately.

Density

The Mass and Inertia properties (below) change as you edit the Density.

Mass (read-only)

Mass = Density × area of sketch-loop × Extrusion Depth.

The mass is uniformly distributed. The center-of-mass is on the Mechanism-Plane.

The position of the center-of-mass is a function of the shape of the sketch-loop you select to add the Profile.

Inertia (read-only)

Inertia (Mass Moment of Inertia) is calculated with respect to the center-of-mass.
