Translations:PartDesign Pad/58/en


 * Like all Part Design features, Pad creates a solid, thus the sketch must include a closed profile or it will fail with a Failed to validate broken face error. There can be multiple enclosed profiles inside a larger one, provided none intersect each other (for example, a rectangle with two circles inside it).
 * The algorithm used for To First and To Last is:
 * Create a line through the centre of gravity of the sketch
 * Find all faces of the support cut by this line
 * Choose the face where the intersection point is nearest/furthest from the sketch
 * This means that the face that is found might not always be what you expected. If you run into this problem, use the Up to face type instead, and pick the face you want.
 * For the very special case of extrusion to a concave surface, where the sketch is larger than this surface, extrusion will fail. This is a unresolved bug.


 * v0.16 and below There is no automatic cleanup, e.g. of adjacent planar surfaces into a single surface. You can fix this manually in the Part workbench with Refine shape (which creates an unlinked, non-parametric solid) or with the Refine shape feature from the OpenSCAD Workbench which creates a parametric feature.
