Circular Pattern with Move Face feature

david_airth

I'm trying to create a circular pattern here with the a move face feature, but the circular pattern always fails:

Doesn't give much of an error message, so not sure what the issue is; I've used circular pattern with features before without issues, not sure why this one fails.

Also tried a circular pattern with the faces selected and that didn't work either.

Here's a thought.

1. Replace revolve face with solid to eliminate close operation.
2. Change revolve to symmetric 360/8deg.
3. Fix split and move face.
4. Circular array of part/add.

It's confused on what do with this area. maybe recreate that with some other way than the move face and it might work

it's worth a try with a face pattern, rather then a feature pattern.

in feature pattern, perhaps the split face needs to be included. worth a try but may not solve it.

if you create an extrude (new body) with this custom feature:

you could use a part pattern, then subtract in the circular pattern.

also likely the Regional pattern feature will also work.

Yes, it look like this is an alternate way of completing this shape, seems weird the other way wasn't able to resolve, but :shrug.

Thanks for the help!
