13 more part features: swept, lofted and revolved cuts, boundary, dome, threads, wrap and four patterns
The Features tab gains Swept Cut, Lofted Cut, Revolved Cut, Boundary Boss/Base and Boundary Cut, Dome, Thread and Cosmetic Thread, Curve-, Sketch- and Table-Driven patterns, Fill Pattern and Wrap. Revolve, Hole Wizard, Shell, Rib, Draft and Fillet gain the main options SolidWorks has. Every core part feature in our SolidWorks list is now done or partly done.
Each one is checked against its closed form in the kernel. A swept cut removes exactly π·5²·100, a boundary along a quarter arc gives π·5²·(π/2·40), and a dome gives the spherical cap πh(3a²+h²)/6. A modelled M6 thread is within 0.001 % of its helical volume, and fill patterns place exactly 45, 43 and 38 holes for square, staggered and circular layouts.
New options: Revolve has Direction 2, Mid-Plane and Thin Feature. Sweep takes a circular profile without a sketch, and Loft a centerline. Hole Wizard adds slots, counterbore slots and tapered pipe taps. Shell can go outward with different thicknesses on chosen faces. Rib has draft, Draft has parting line, and Fillet has chord width.
Thread picks the right size from the shaft: a Ø20 shaft gets M20 × 2.5 at the ISO coarse pitch.
Not yet: Variable Pattern, solid-body sweeps, sweep and loft guide curves, loft end tangency, step draft, Hole Series and Stud Wizard. Modelled threads take 3 to 4 s to rebuild. Core parity is now 89 of 239.
