Applying a transition modifier Cut Plane Modifier A cut plane modifier cuts a feature into 2 parts, only 1 of which is kept. A cut plane modifier enables you to change the end of a feature to a slope, providing for the creation of more advanced features, such as an exhaust vent. You can modify the cut plane by dragging the normal, or perpendicular axis, of the modifier to create custom slopes. Cut planes are updated when the length of the modifier changes. NOTE Cut planes cannot be defined parametrically. How they are defined in the model is how they will be displayed when placed in your drawing. Applying a cut plane modifier Boolean Add Modifier A Boolean add modifier combines 2 features to create a single feature. This modifier assumes a basic concept of addition: that geometry inside other geometry, when added together, is removed. This modifier is helpful when creating models of MvParts, such as equipment, that are placed in your drawing exactly as they were created in the model. Applying a Boolean add modifier Boolean Subtract Modifier A Boolean subtract modifier subtracts one or more features from another to create a new feature. The Boolean subtract modifier uses a basic formula when creating the resulting feature: that the subtractor objects are 662 | Chapter 14 Customizing Catalog-Based Content
