Slot Profile
Draw a rounded slot outline for a cutout or extruded feature.

Where to find it
Geometry workspace; System → Geometry
How to use it
Set the slot dimensions on a work plane, then use it in the appropriate solid operation. Choose Build All Geometry to update Graphics.
Settings and initial values
| Setting | Initial value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Work plane | Work Plane 1 | Choose the label of an earlier Work Plane in the geometry sequence. Its center and local u/v directions place the profile in space. Correct a missing-plane warning before using the profile; the fallback plane is not proof that the intended reference was found. |
| Length | 1[m] | Set the overall slot length along local u, including the rounded ends. The end radius is the smaller of Width / 2 and Length / 2. Use a positive length in metres or compatible units, such as 10[mm]. |
| Width | 0.35[m] | Set the transverse slot width along local v. The end radius is the smaller of Width / 2 and Length / 2; Width greater than Length does not create that larger transverse extent. Use a positive length in metres or compatible units, such as 10[mm]. |
| Center U | 0[m] | Offset the profile center along local u from the selected work plane center. Values are lengths in metres or compatible units, not global coordinates. Tilting the work plane tilts these local directions. |
| Center V | 0[m] | Offset the profile center along local v from the selected work plane center. Values are lengths in metres or compatible units, not global coordinates. Tilting the work plane tilts these local directions. |
| Segments | 12 | Choose the number of straight segments approximating each semicircular end. The current calculation rounds to an integer and uses at least 4 per end. Increase it to inspect a smoother outline; it is not the later volume-mesh element count. |
Result
Built solids and their selectable entities appear in Graphics.
Troubleshooting
Check that the overall length can accommodate the rounded ends.
