Adding Features
Now that you have a solid part,
various features can be added to
modify the part. The features
covered in thissection include Holes,
Chamfers and Edge Blends (also
called Fillets). To place a hole in the
object drawn in theprevious step,
click the Hole button in the
Menu. The Hole dialog will open. The
first piece of input for thisdialog is
the location for the hole. To put the
hole at the center of the circular
portion of the object, select
thecircular edge highlighted in
yellow in Figure 22. Once the edge is
selected, you need to enter two
pieces of information, the diameter
of the hole and its depth. If the hole
only needs to go part of the way
through, set theDepth Limit to Value
and enter the depth and angle at the
bottom of the hole. To make the
hole go all the waythrough a part,
set the Depth Limit to Through
Body. Click OK to make the hole
(Figure 23).

Chamfer
Chamfers are used to add bevels to
sharp edges. To add a chamfer
to one side of the object, select the
Chamferoption from the down arrow
next to the Edge Blend button in the
Menu (Figure 24).
Figure 24 - Chamfer Option
The Chamfer dialog will open. Like
creating a Hole, you must first
select the location for the
chamfer. In thiscase, you will need
to select edges of the part. Select
an edge to get a preview and the
Distance dialog (Figure25).
Figure 25 - Chamfering
In this dialog, you can set the
distance to chamfer. Try changing
this value to see how it alters the
appearance of the chamfer. Click OK
in the Chamfer dialog to add the
feature.
Edge Blend (Fillet)
Edge blends, or Fillets, are like
chamfers but with rounded edges
instead of straight-cut edges. To
add an edgeblend, select the Edge
Blend button (Figure 24). Use the
same sequence to pick an edge and
set the radius asyou used with the
chamfer.
Wrapping Up
With these basic operations, you can
make simple 3D models using
NX. More in-depth features of NX
will becovered in future tutorials.

Assignment
Draw a single solid object using
NX. The object should include at
least one sketch. The sketch must
include atleast one circle and three
line segments. Extrude or revolve
the sketch and add at least one hole,
chamfer andedge blend. Save the
part file and upload it via
Blackboard. The following point
breakdown will be used:
Sketch (three lines and at least one
circle) (2)
Extrusion/Revolution (2)
Hole (2)
Chamfer (2)
Edge Blend (2)Figure 26 has an
example that satisfies the
requirements of this assignment.
