        278   CHAPTER 8  Selecting Secondary FeatureS


                    Figure 8.16 shows the PropertyManager interface for the Indent feature, as well as what the
                    indent looks like before and after using the feature.
                       In this case, the small motor is placed where it needs to be, but there is a wall in the way.
                    Indent is used to create an indentation in the wall by using the same wall thickness and placing a
                    gap of 0.010 inches around the motor. The motor is brought into the wall part using the Insert ➢
                    Part command. This is a multibody technique. Multibodies are examined in detail in Chapter 31,
                    “Modeling Multibodies.”
