Creating a Flare

Create a flare primitive to be used in the construction of the horn.

1. On the Construct tab, in the Create solid group, click the  Flare icon.
2. Create the flare using the Base centre, width, depth, height, top width, top depth definition method.
3. Specify the flare dimensions using one of the following workflows:
   • Add the defined variables manually.
   • Select a field on the Create flare dialog and use point-entry to enter the values.
     Note: An active field allowing point-entry is indicated by a yellow background.

     Point-entry allows a variable or named points to be entered by pressing Ctrl+Shift+left click on a variable in the model tree.

   Dimension	Value
   Base centre (C)	(0, 0, 0)
   Bottom width (Wb)	BottomWidth
   Bottom depth (Db)	BottomDepth
   Height (H)	FlareLength
   Top width (Wt)	TopWidth
   Top depth (Dt)	TopDepth

   Tip: Parametric models are the preferred construction method. A parametric model updates automatically when updating a defined variable.

   Alternatively, use values instead of defined variables.

   
   

   

   
   

4. View the preview of the flare in the 3D view. Confirm that the model looks correct.
