  1. Which SolidWorks feature adds material by extruding a closed sketch profile along a straight path?

    Answer: Extrude Boss/Base

    Extrude Boss/Base creates a solid by extending a 2D sketch profile linearly to a specified depth.

  2. What does the 'Shell' feature do in SolidWorks?

    Answer: Creates a thin-walled part by hollowing out a solid and removing selected faces

    The Shell feature hollows a solid model to a specified wall thickness, optionally removing selected open faces.

  3. Which end condition in an Extrude feature extends the extrusion to the next solid face it encounters?

    Answer: Up To Next

    The 'Up To Next' end condition terminates the extrusion at the first surface or face the geometry intersects.

  4. In SolidWorks, which feature creates a solid by sweeping a profile along a curved path?

    Answer: Sweep

    The Sweep feature generates a solid or surface by moving a 2D profile along a defined 3D path.

  5. What does a 'Draft' feature add to a SolidWorks part?

    Answer: A taper angle to faces to facilitate part ejection from a mold

    Draft applies a taper angle to selected faces so the part can be released from a mold without sticking.

  6. Which SolidWorks feature creates a solid by blending two or more profiles on separate planes?

    Answer: Loft

    The Loft feature transitions smoothly between two or more sketch profiles to form a complex solid.
