Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire Basic Design Section 1
Extrude and Revolve Features
Introduction
Solid features can be created using a variety of techniques. The most common solid features are
Extrude and Revolve. These features are created by sketching the shape on an existing planar
surface. Extruded features are created ‘normal’ to the sketch plane. Revolved features are
revolved about a sketched centerline.
When creating a new part, the ‘template’ includes three ‘Datum Planes’ that are used as a
foundation for the model. The first solid feature is sketched and oriented using these datum
planes. Subsequent features can also be sketched on the datum planes or on solid surfaces of the
model.
Examples of Extrude and Revolve features are shown below.

Dashboard Tools
The system uses ‘dashboard’ tools for defining the various elements of the feature. Extruded
features are created using the Extrude Tool as shown below. These tools includes right mouse
button popup menus for shortcuts to common elements of the feature being created.

The Extrude Tool

The Extrude Tool is used to create all extruded features including solid protrusions and cuts,
thin protrusions and cuts, and extruded surfaces. The Extrude Tool is shown below.

Internal Vs External Sections

Traditional Pro/ENGINEER features use an internal section; the section (or sketch) is part of the
feature.
Pro/ENGINEER allows the use of existing
datum curves to define the shape of new
features. When this is done, the section is
considered external. External sections are
copied from the selected datum curve, and
become independent of the curve, meaning if
the curve is modified, the copied section does
not update.
To create an extruded feature with an internal section, pick the Sketch icon in the Extrude Tool
as shown below. The Section dialog box is used to control the elements of the internal section.
When creating a feature, pick here

Page 90 CADQUEST
Sketch Plane and Reference Plane

The Sketch plane is the plane you sketch on. The Reference plane is another plane used to
rotationally orient the Sketch plane. The system usually selects a reference plane for you, and
you can accept it or select a different one before sketching the section.
The Section dialog box controls the Sketch plane, the viewing direction, the Reference plane,
and the orientation of the Reference plane relative to the monitor. The Section dialog box is
shown below.

Protrusion Vs Cut
A Protrusion adds material to the model. A Cut removes material from the model. Both
extruded protrusions and extruded cuts can be created using the Extrude Tool as shown below.
The system defaults to Protrusion, pick as shown below to create a Cut.
Pick here to toggle

Extrude Direction
The Direction of the extruded feature can be flipped on the model or in the Extrude Tool as
shown below.
Pick here to flip the direction

When you want to extrude in both directions from the sketching plane, use the Options panel of
the Extrude Tool as shown below.

Material Side
Extruded features that remove material from the model are called Cuts. The Material Side arrow
controls on which side of the sketch the system removes the material.
The Material Side arrow points toward the material to be removed as shown below.

Extruded Depth Options

When creating extruded features, many options are available to define the depth of the feature.
Each of the depth options are described below, and the icons are shown at the bottom of the page.
Blind Depth is controlled by a dimension on one side of the sketch plane.

Symmetrical Blind Depth is controlled by a single dimension symmetrical on both sides of the
sketch plane.
Thru Next Depth is controlled by the next part surface the feature completely
intersects. In other words, the surface must be bigger than the feature being
created.
Thru All Go all the way through the part.
Thru Until Depth is controlled by selecting a part surface the feature completely
intersects. In other words, the surface must be bigger than the feature being
created.
Up To Entity Depth is controlled by a datum point, or a vertex, or a datum curve, or a
part surface, or a datum plane. The feature does not have to completely
intersect the surface.

Creating Extruded Features

The process of creating extruded features is complex. Use this page as a guide to creating
extruded features.
Start by picking the Extrude Tool icon (1) then
pick the Internal Sketch button (2) in the Extrude
Tool. After selecting the sketch plane pick the
Sketch button (3) in the Section dialog box. After
completing the sketch, pick the Done icon (4).
