Nucleo - Adding Edge Detail (additional material)
When Nucleo offsets the part in the fixture, it offsets on all sides around the perimeter of the solids. You may want to add some material back in some rare instances, and this article explains how to accomplish this.

Firstly, select the option on the fixture menu shown below "Add Blade Edge Detail":


Pick the blade and select the option below - "Offset Fixture Blade Periphery", and state the material to be added - enter a negative value to offset "upwards" (example -0.05") or positive to offset "downwards":



Next, follow the green lights to the "Add Edge Feature / Offset"  button...

Click "Select Start Of Feature >>":



Click near to the point you need the material added, then the second point. Click off the shape, not on it.





... then "Commit":


...and repeat.

Once done, click OK.



Next, click "Update Fixture Assembly" button:



Repeat for other blades by clicking "Select Blade >>":



When you're done, you should see the solids reflect these modifications.
