Boolean not returning valid part

naregjannaregjan Member Posts: 6 EDU


I have a boat that I'm trying to model based off of four lofted sketches. I've been trying to hollow it out; I tried using both shell and thickness to do so. In either case, whenever I try to take the top of the boat off using any sort of boolean operation, I get an error. In this most recent iteration, I've got a 10mm thick shell, and when I try to get the intersection with a block I've extruded underneath it, I get an error. Here's the link

Why? How should I make it differently?

    (also I realize this should probably be in "using Onshape," but I don't think I can move an already existent post)

    @naregjan - Hello. In your screen shot Extrude1 is shown to be failing, but in the model it is succeeding! :)
    In fact, the entire Feature Tree has no errors! (well done) :)

    And herein lies the lesson of linking forum request posts to a revision of the doc not the live main workspace...
