About Feature Creation Mode - Creating Construction Features
Creating Construction Features
Construction features are used to indirectly create components of your SOLIDWORKS model. For example, a line element that is used as an axis for revolving another sketch to create a component of your part is a Construction feature. Not all features that you can create with RevWorks can be Construction features in SOLIDWORKS. Specifically, the following objects cannot be created as Construction features:
-
Points
-
3D Curves
-
Planes
-
Surfaces
To Create Construction Features
From the RevWorks toolbar, select ,
or select Feature > Type > Construction from the RevWorks menu in SOLIDWORKS.
The feature mode button changes to to indicate that RevWorks is ready to construct Construction features.
