Defines the first and second points for the opening line or seam. The points can be vertices, points, or one of each.

If you use points instead of vertices, each point must exist in its own sketch and be coincident with the corresponding edge.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. When creating the hopper, why can I pick one sketch but not the other?
    A:  Ensure all corresponding radii are coincident. If separate opening line end points were created, ensure they are both in their own sketch and coincident with the corresponding edge.
