Intersect PropertyManager

For example, you can add open surface geometry to a solid, remove material from a model, or you can create geometry from an enclosed cavity. You can also merge solids that you define with the Intersect tool, or cap some surfaces to define closed volumes.

To open the Intersect PropertyManager:

• Open a part containing solids, surfaces, or planes, and click Intersect (Features toolbar), or Insert > Features > Intersect.

Selections

	Solids, Surfaces, or Planes	Select the solids, surfaces, or planes to intersect.
	Create intersecting regions	Displays the selections and creates regions that intersect each other.
	Create internal regions	Displays and creates an internal region from a closed (hollow) volume within the intersection of the sections.
	Create both	Displays the selections, and creates intersecting regions, and internal (hollow) regions.
	Cap planar openings on surfaces	For surfaces with openings that are flat, closes the openings when you click Intersect.
	InterI_sect	Defines a distinct region from each closed volume created by the union or intersection of the selections. You can exclude one or more regions in Regions to Exclude.

Regions to Exclude

Preview Options

	Show included regions	Displays the regions that you are including as solids. All other regions are hidden.
	Show excluded regions	Displays the regions that you are excluding as transparent. All other regions are hidden.
	Show both included and excluded regions	Displays both included and excluded regions. Included regions appear as solids and excluded regions appear transparent.

	Region List	After clicking Intersect, displays the regions you can exclude from the final result.
	Select All	Selects all regions for exclusion. You must clear at least one selection to define a new body before clicking .
	Invert Selection	Clears selected regions in the Region List and selects the cleared regions.

Options

Merge result	After clicking , forms the union of the included regions. Touching regions are formed into one body, when possible. When cleared, creates a separate body for each included region.
Consume surfaces	After clicking , removes surfaces from the FeatureManager design tree for the part.
