00:00In this video you learn how to use the Additive Loft and Thickness feature.
00:09Select the Part Design Workbench
00:12and create a new sketch.
00:17Choose the bottom XY plane to sketch on.
00:25Now select the Centered Rectangle tool to create the first shape.
00:30Click on the origin and drag the mouse.
00:33Enter 50mm for the horizontal sides.
00:36Press Tab, enter also 50mm for the other sides and press Enter to apply.
00:42Click on Close to exit the sketch.
00:48To create a new plane for sketching, select the Datum Plane tool here.
00:57Enter 25mm for the Z direction.
01:03Click on OK to apply.
01:07Select this new plane and create another sketch.
01:12Go to the Centered Rectangle tool to create the second shape.
01:18Make both sides 40mm long.
01:23Click on Close to exit the sketch.
01:28Now select the first sketch and go to the Additive Loft feature.
01:36Then click on the Add section button.
01:39And select the second sketch in the design tree.
01:44Click on OK to create the solid.
01:48To make it hollow, first select this top face.
01:53And go to the Thickness tool.
01:57To make the other side open too, click on the Select button.
02:03And select this bottom face.
02:06Click on OK to apply.
02:11To edit the size, expand the Additive Loft feature.
02:15Double click on one sketch to edit it.
02:18Change the dimensions from 40 to 20mm.
02:21And click on Close to exit the sketch.
02:25You see the model was updated automatically.
02:29Now let's change the rectangular shapes to circular shapes.
02:38Make sure you delete the rectangles.
02:48The thickness feature fails because it cannot find the right faces anymore.
02:53Select the Thickness feature and press Delete.
02:55Now select these two faces while holding the Control key.
02:59And go to the Thickness tool.
03:02Leave all settings and click on OK to apply.
03:05And now you have a circular shape instead of a rectangular one.
03:10To hide the datum plane, click on the eye icon next to it.
03:14So this is how you can create a loft shape with specified dimensions.
