Place a sketched feature by sketching - Intergraph Smart 3D - Help - Hexagon

Click Place Sketched Feature on the vertical toolbar.

Select the plate, profile, or member part in which to place the sketched feature.

Specify the sketching plane for the opening using one of the following methods:

Define an offset plane

Define a plane using three points

Define a plane using a point and a normal vector

• If you selected a planar plate part, its surface is automatically specified as the coincident sketch plane. You can specify another sketch plane by one of the other methods if needed.

• If you selected a profile or member part, one of the surface ports on the web or flange can be specified as the sketch plane.

Click Add Intersecting Item .

Select objects in the Model to use as reference geometry that intersect the sketching plane. These extra objects appear in the Sketch 2D environment.

Click Add Projection Item .

Select objects in the Model to use as reference geometry that do not intersect the sketching plane. These extra objects are projected onto the sketching plane and appear in the Sketch 2D environment.

Click Sketch 2D .

Using the available drawing commands in the Sketch 2D environment, draw the sketched feature.

You must sketch a closed contour.

Click Finish on the ribbon in the Sketch 2D environment.

Use the Opening design type, Opening planning method, and Opening production method lists to set the design, planning, and production properties on the sketched feature.

Click Finish.
