A positive angle means the outer pad border gets wider. Tapers the pad in the extrusion direction by the given angle. Tick the checkbox to extrude half of the given length to either side of the sketch or plane. introduced in version 0.20 Symmetric to plane If checked, the pad length is measured along the sketch normal, otherwise along the custom direction. introduced in version 0.20 Length along sketch normal In case the pad uses a Custom direction, it can be changed. If checked, the pad direction will be shown. Custom direction The sketch is extruded along a direction that can be specified via vector values.When this is method selected, you can click on any edge in the 3D model and it becomes the direction vector for the extrusion. The sketch is extruded along an edge of the 3D model. If you have selected several sketches or faces to be extruded, the normal of the first one will be used. Sketch normal The sketch or face is extruded along its normal.You can select the direction of the extrusion: This option is only available when Type is either To last, To first or Up to face. Offset from face at which the pad will end. This option is only available when Type is either Dimension or Two dimensions. Multiple units can be used independently of the user's units preferences (m, cm, mm, nm, ft or ', in or '). The directions can be switched by ticking the Reversed option.ĭefines the length of the pad. This allows to enter a second length in which the pad should extend in the opposite direction (into the support). The pad will extrude up to a face in the model that can be chosen by clicking on it. If there is no support, an error message will appear. The pad will extrude up to the first face of the support in the extrusion direction. The pad will extrude up to the last face of the support in the extrusion direction. With the option Symmetric to plane the pad will extend half of the given length to either side of the plane. This can be changed by specifying another Direction. Extrusions occur by default normal to the defining sketch plane. The default direction for extrusion is away (outside of) the support, but it can be changed by ticking the Reversed option. The offset of the image can be set during import, or changed later through its properties.Type offers five different ways of specifying the length to which the pad will be extruded:Įnter a numeric value for the length of the pad. This means that the image will be slightly behind the plane where you draw your 2D geometry, so you won't draw on the image itself. Tracing over an image works best if the image has a small negative offset, for example, -0.1 mm, from the working plane. The recommendation is to have the imported image at a reasonable resolution.Ī major use of this workbench is tracing over the image, with the Draft or Sketcher tools, in order to generate a solid body based on the contours of the image.The image is imported with relation of 1 pixel to 1 millimeter.Like a Sketch, an imported image can be attached to one of the main planes XY, XZ, or YZ, and given a positive or negative offset.

Scale image plane: scale an image imported to a plane.Create image plane.: import an image to a plane in the 3D view.Open.: open an image on a new viewport.The Image Workbench manages different types of bitmap images, and allows you to open them in FreeCAD.
