Replace Face

1. Click the Replace face icon ( ).

   

2. With the Faces to replace highlighted, select one or more faces you want to trim or extend on the model.
3. Click the Faces to replace with field in the dialog and select one or more faces to use for face replacement on the model.
4. Optionally, provide an Offset distance to specify a distance by which to separate the face(s).
5. Optionally, check Flip alignment to change the face(s) being replaced by to the opposite direction:

   

6. Click the checkmark ( ) to accept the replacement.

• Extending the face (before; left, during; middle, after; right). Notice that a surface has been created in this example, to use to extend the face to. You have the ability to hide and unhide this part in the Parts list of the Feature list box.

  

• Multiple face replacement:

  

The Create Selection arrow (next to the Faces field) is useful when selecting related faces for Replace face.

This lists the collection of surface feature tools. This is not an exhaustive list. Additional Feature tools may be used when modeling surfaces. See Surfacing for additional information.

• Thicken - Add depth to a surface. Create a new part or modify an existing one by giving thickness to a surface and converting it to a solid, adding or removing material from an existing part or surface, or intersecting parts in its path.
• Enclose - Create a part by selecting all boundaries surrounding an empty space to form a solid. Use any set of surfaces and solids (including planes and faces) that intersect each other or connect at a boundary to create a volume. Create a new part or modify an existing one by adding, removing, or intersecting parts.
• Fillet - Round sharp interior and exterior edges and define as a standard constant radius, more stylized conic, or variable by selecting Edge fillet. Optionally apply a Full round fillet to create a seamless blend of one or more faces between two opposing sides.
• Face blend - Round sharp connected or disconnected interior and exterior faces to create a seamless blend between the faces or detach the blend to create new faces, defining a radius or constant width. Further define the blend cross section (rolling ball or swept profile), symmetry, control, trim, constraints, and limits.
• Delete face - Remove geometry from a part. Select whether to heal the surrounding faces (by extending until they intersect), cap the void, or leave the void open. This Direct Editing tool is especially convenient if you don't have the parametric history of the part, as is often the case with an imported part.
• Move face - Translate, rotate, or offset one or more selected faces. This Direct Editing tool is especially convenient if you don't have the parametric history of the part, as is often the case with an imported part.
• Replace face - Trim a face or extend a face to a new surface. This Direct Editing tool is especially convenient if you don't have the parametric history of the part, as is often the case with an imported part.
• Offset surface - Create a new surface by offsetting an existing face, surface, or sketch region. Set offset distance to 0 to create a copy in place.
• Boundary surface - Create or add a surface specified by its boundary profiles.
• Fill - Create a surface (or a part from surfaces) by defining boundaries and refine the surface with boundary conditions (instead of requiring the use of reference surfaces).
• Move boundary - Move boundary edges of a surface in order to extend or trim it.
• Ruled surface - Create a new or additional ruled surface from an existing edge or multiple edges of a sketch region.
• Mutual trim - Trim two adjacent surfaces by extending intersections to complete the trim.
• Constrained surface - Create a surface from a selection of points or mesh data within a specified tolerance. Display deviations and optimize for performance or smoothness.
