Extrude
Extrude creates a feature by extruding a
3D object from a 2D sketch, essentially
adding the third dimension. An
extrusion can be a base (in which case
it always adds material), a boss (which
adds material, often on another
extrusion), or a cut (which removes
material).

Main Features
Revolve

adds or removes material by
revolving one or more sketch
profiles around a centerline. The
feature can be either a solid, a
thin feature, or a surface.

Sweep
Sweep creates a base,
boss, cut, or surface by
moving a profile (section)
along a path.
Loft
Loft creates a feature by
making transitions between
profiles. A loft can be a
base, boss, cut, or surface.
Boundary
Boundary creates very high
quality, accurate features useful
for creating complex shapes for
the consumer product design,
medical, aerospace, and mold
markets. A boundary can be a
base, boss, cut, or surface.
