Extrude removing material in Sheet Metal part

Roberto_Verduci

Hi,

I'm new in scripting.
I'm tring to sketch a circle on a SM face and to extrude it removing material. I can draw a circle, I can extrude it but I get an error with opBoolean (@opBoolean: SHEET_METAL_PARTS_PROHIBITED).

How can I use opBoolean with SM?

Thanks

Sheet metal part modification is tricky.
The easiest way to do it is to use the actual Boolean feature instead of opboolean. It handles all the hard stuff for you.

Hi Caden, 

thanks. Where can I find an example? I'm new in featureScripting and I'm learning step by step

if your opBoolean Call is similar to this with no other arguments

opBoolean(context, id + "boolean1", {

                                         "tools" : tools,

                                         "operationType" : BooleanOperationType.SUBTRACTION,

                                         "targets": something

                                 });
then change it to

booleanBodies(context, id + "boolean1", {

                                         "tools" : tools,

                                         "operationType" : BooleanOperationType.SUBTRACTION,

                                         "targets": something

                                 }); 

this should solve your issue

Hi Jacob,

it was so simple that I hadn't considered replacing the feature name
It works good.

 Thank you both!!
