Thin Extrude (Thin Feature) This is a specific option within the standard Extruded Boss/Base command. Instead of filling the entire inside of a closed sketch to create a solid block, it adds a specified wall thickness directly to the sketch lines. Function: Creates thin-walled parts instantly without needing to use the Shell command later. It also allows you to extrude open sketch profiles (like a single drawn line). Example: Drawing a single circle and using Thin Extrude to instantly create a hollow metal pipe. 2. Extruded Boss/Base This command adds material. It takes a 2D sketch and pulls it in a straight line (perpendicular to the sketch plane) to create a solid 3D object. Function: Creates the primary geometric body of a part, such as a block, cylinder, or bracket. Example: Drawing a rectangle and extruding it to create a solid metal base plate. 3. Hole (Hole Wizard) This is a specialized command for creating standard engineering holes. Function: Instead of manually drawing a circle and cutting it, Hole Wizard automatically calculates the exact dimensions, depths, and angles needed to fit real-world hardware (like ISO or ANSI standards). It easily creates counterbores, countersinks, tapped (threaded) holes, and standard clearance holes. Example: Creating a perfectly sized counterbore hole so the head of an M8 socket-head cap screw sits flush with the surface. 4. Thread This command physically cuts or adds a helical thread along a cylindrical face. Function: Used to model realistic, physically accurate threads on custom bolts, screws, or inside tapped holes (usually only necessary if the part is being 3D printed or needs to be rendered accurately; otherwise, cosmetic threads are preferred to save computer memory). Example: Cutting external threads onto a custom steel rod so a standard nut can screw onto it. 5. Rib This command creates a thin-walled support structure (a web or stiffener) between two existing intersecting faces. Function: Adds structural strength and rigidity to a part without adding a massive amount of weight or solid material. Highly common in plastic injection molded parts and metal castings. Example: Adding a triangular support bracket exactly in the 90-degree corner between a vertical wall and a horizontal floor to prevent the wall from bending. 6. Fillet This command creates a rounded edge or corner. It replaces sharp external edges or internal corners with a smooth circular radius. Function: Reduces mechanical stress concentrations (which prevents the part from breaking), improves aesthetics, and removes sharp edges for physical safety. Example: Smoothing the sharp corners of a machined bracket so it is safe to handle during assembly.
