cross sectional shape
type of bead

radius of the blend
between bead walls and
secondary face if one
is defined or just
between the bead walls
if there isn't one

width of the bead in
the placement face

Indication of
how placement width
is measured.

width of the bead in
the secondary face

When a radius
is specified along with
a secondary width, this
defines how the
secondary width is
measured.

angle between the bead
wall and the section
axis at the centerline

Indication of how
the taper angle is
measured.

height of bead along
the section axis

Radius of blend between
side walls and placement
faces

Radius of the end caps on
a circular bead. This is
measured tangent to the
end of the centerline.
It must be greater than
the height and the
radius.

Angle of the end cap
taper on the v bead

Indicates where end
caps should be placed
on the bead

If TRUE, boolean bead
to the target body.
If FALSE, a separate body
will be created.

If TRUE, create a hollow
bead which preserves the
thickness of the target
solid body. Only
applicable when attach
is TRUE.
