Step-by-step tutorial for hex infull?

Hi Onshape gurus!

I think I need some help with using the Hex Infill FeatureScript.

I made two attempts at what I thought were fairly simple test cases, but couldn't get the hex to generate for some reason.

In the first test, I simply applied the hex infill FeatureScript on a solid rectangle part with rounded edges. I could get the hex pattern displayed on the surface like a sketch, but the actual hex patterns didn't materialize. (See image below.)



In the second test, I tried applying the Hex Infill to the same part after I shelled it. It succeeded in superimposing the patterns onto the part during preview, but then failed in the final stage, with the message "Unable to shell part with the current wall thickness." (See image attached.)



Am I missing some steps?

Best,

--Kenneth Wong

    Thanks, Kevin and Philip! I'll try the Bolean cutoff approach as outlined in another post to see if that gives me what I want.
