Why Feature Script opExtrude REMOVE not working and making a NEW part?

shimon_shmulman

Hello,

I am trying to shorten the cylinder by opExtrude with the following code:

FeatureScript 1301;

import(path : "onshape/std/geometry.fs", version : "1301.0");

annotation { "Feature Type Name" : "Face 03" }

export const face03 = defineFeature(function(context is Context, id is Id, definition is map)

    precondition

    {

        annotation { "Name" : "Face", "Filter" : EntityType.FACE, "MaxNumberOfPicks" : 1 }

        definition.prop_face is Query;

    }

    {

        opExtrude(context, id + "extrude1", {                   

                    "operationType" : NewBodyOperationType.REMOVE,                    

                    "entities" : definition.prop_face,

                    "direction" : evPlane(context, { "face" : definition.prop_face }).normal * -1,

                    "endBound" : BoundingType.BLIND,

                    "endDepth" : 200 * millimeter

                });

    });

For some reason NewBodyOperationType.REMOVE tag is not working and a new part is generated.
Please help, what can be done?

More efficient to use opExtrude opBoolean

NeilCooke

operationType is not a parameter for opExtrude. You will need to do an opBoolean to remove the body created by your opExtrude. This is the preferred method. 

The extrude function includes opBoolean and so operationType is valid for that.

Neil,

Thank you for your answer. I tried to use extrude, but it has no effect on the part.
I must be doing something wrong.

FeatureScript 1301;

import(path : "onshape/std/geometry.fs", version : "1301.0");

annotation { "Feature Type Name" : "Face 03" }

export const face03 = defineFeature(function(context is Context, id is Id, definition is map)

    precondition

    {

        annotation { "Name" : "Face", "Filter" : EntityType.FACE, "MaxNumberOfPicks" : 1 }

        definition.prop_face is Query;

    }

    {

        extrude(context, id + "extrude1", {

                    "entities" : definition.prop_face,

                    "direction" : evPlane(context, { "face" : definition.prop_face }).normal * -1,

                    "operationType" : NewBodyOperationType.REMOVE,

                    "defaultScope" : true,

                    "endBound" : BoundingType.BLIND,

                    "depth" : 200 * millimeter

                });

    });

FYI @shimon_shmulman

You can hit the "code" formatting button:

And then paste code from your feature studio into the yellow box that shows up.

Jake,

I did hit the code format, but then only the first line was visible.
Is it supposed to work this way?
In addition, I still do not understand what was wrong with my extrude function.
