Surface-to-surface add bug?

dan_engerer

Hello. I'm trying to make a sheet metal part in 3 dimensions from surfaces. In doing so, I am trying to use the "fill" command, because it has the ability to be done as "new" or "add". Yesterday, I got the error message that these two surfaces did not share an edge (even though they do), and today Onshape doesn't give me a message, it just creates a new (purple) surface despite designating the adjacent yellow surface to the "merge with".

In other words, it just "forgets" the merge choice and creates a new surface. The feature is greyed out in the feature tree.

Dan has asked this as well and ADD has to use a surface as a profile.. not the path in order to ADD.

We need to be able to knit and trim surfaces together.

Use offset face with an offset of 0, then try this feature: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/84d939daceef6a928b8abcba
