Programs typically perform healing on geometry that you import through neutral formats such as IGES, STEP, and SAT with problems caused by conditions ranging from imprecise geometric definitions to poor entity mapping to poorly written translator code. Today, hybrid systems are known for their ability to mix advanced surfacing and solid functions within the same database. Hybrid systems may also let you explode a solid, perform surface and solid functions on open volumes, and then sew the faces back into a solid. Kernel Core solid modeling code where creation and editing functions are accessed. Options may include the ability to adjust the loft connection points and the magnitude of continuity between adjacent faces of the loft.
Some systems combine the sweep and loft features into a single function.
Open profile Sketch whose perimeter profile forms an open loop. Typically, an open profile requires you to specify the interior direction. When a feature uses an open profile sketch, the system infers additional information to complete the feature. Revolve Base, boss, or cut feature created by revolving an open or closed profile sketch about an axis. Options may include the ability to offset the profile as it revolves.
