CSWP CSWP Part Modeling Fundamentals 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which Extrude end condition extends a feature only to the very next face encountered in the extrusion direction?
- Blind
- Up to Next (Correct answer)
- Through All
- Up to Vertex
Correct answer: Up to Next
Up to Next terminates the extrusion at the first surface it intersects, adapting automatically if the model geometry changes.
Question 2: The Revolve feature in SolidWorks requires a sketch profile and what additional element?
- A guide curve
- An axis of revolution (Correct answer)
- A second profile
- A loft path
Correct answer: An axis of revolution
Revolve rotates the sketch profile around an axis of revolution, which can be a centerline, model edge, or sketch line defined within the sketch.
Question 3: In a Sweep feature, guide curves are used to control what aspect of the result?
- The direction of the sweep path
- The start and end tangency conditions
- The cross-section shape variation along the path (Correct answer)
- The twist angle of the profile
Correct answer: The cross-section shape variation along the path
Guide curves constrain how the cross-section profile scales or morphs as it travels along the sweep path, allowing non-uniform swept shapes.
Question 4: Which SolidWorks feature creates a solid by blending between two or more profiles located at different planes or faces?
- Sweep
- Extrude
- Loft (Correct answer)
- Revolve
Correct answer: Loft
Loft transitions smoothly between multiple profiles (which can differ in shape and size) to create complex organic or tapered solids.
Question 5: The Mid Plane end condition in Boss-Extrude creates geometry in what manner?
- Extends to a mid-surface of the part
- Extrudes equally in both directions from the sketch plane (Correct answer)
- Finds the midpoint between two selected faces
- Extrudes to half the specified depth in one direction
Correct answer: Extrudes equally in both directions from the sketch plane
Mid Plane splits the total specified depth equally on both sides of the sketch plane, keeping the sketch centered within the resulting feature.
Question 6: What is the purpose of enabling the Draft option within the Extrude Boss feature?
- Creates a hollow shell around the extrusion
- Mirrors the extrusion to the opposite side of the part
- Adds a taper angle to the extruded walls (Correct answer)
- Offsets the sketch profile inward before extruding
Correct answer: Adds a taper angle to the extruded walls
The Draft option within Extrude adds an angular taper to the side walls of the feature, which is essential for parts that need to release from molds.
