Creating a helical sweep cut with intersecting cuts (Pro-E & SolidWorks)
In most situations, creating cuts as solid features, a Boolean function, is the most efficient method when working with solid bodies. This efficiency applies both in creating the actual feature, and the regeneration / rebuild time. However, there are some modeling situations in 3-D CAD where a solid cut does not work, but substituting a surface cut is a viable solution.
