FIGURE 26.4

The Indent feature using a tool body


On the CD-ROM
To take a closer look at this part and the Indent feature, look at the part on the CD-ROM named Chapter 26 –
Indent Part.sldprt. n


The Indent feature can be problematic if it breaks into multiple areas as it does in this part, due to
the ribbing on the underside of the target body. Notice that in the PropertyManager in Figure 26.4,
two selections were made in the Tool body region selection box. The tool body is selected on either
side of the rib that bisects the tool. This concept is not very intuitive, and you may have to play
with the part and the options to understand what it is doing.
