Re: trouble removing prung parts
Hey Andrew. It seems the problem is within the sketch used for the Extrude/Remove feature. The extrude fails when a certain portion of the sketch is selected. Close examination reveals this: In your sketch use the Use tool to capture that upper edge of part 1 and then make that vertex of cony intersect with that upper… -
Problem with Multi Part Studio tutorial
I'm following the Multi Part Studio tutorial (Katie Huffman) and when I get to slide 10, I can't extrude the pivot pins in the manner described. After a lot of trial and error, I managed to select the regions necessary in the Master Sketch but when I use the 2nd direction check box, the Extrude name bar goes red and tells… -
worldToPlane() gives inconsistent location?
I am trying to get a 2D point on a surface that I can then extrude. In this example, I am using a line's endpoint and attempting to extrude a circle with that point as its center. it works in one orientation, but when I switch orientations it either moves the extrude or fails completely (extrude error). In my testing, the… -
Why can't I extrude new into an existing piece?
I'm planning to create an auto webbing Featurescript, but I first need to extrude a sketch region into the part to be webbed to the same thickness. I figured extruding the sketch region as a new part up to face of the other side of the part would work, since that's what I'd do if I were to CAD this by hand. However, I am… -
Re: Stuck with a variable + derived part
@lana For some reasons those dots got unconstrained when I changed the cube's size. (for me this looks like a bug) Now there are no more lines or dots in blue, but it doesn't solve the problem. If I change the #size variable the extrude command fails. For example if you try to change it to 75 the extrude command fails. -
Re: Debugging featurescript failures and exceptions
@stixpjr I would suspect that both of these issues arise from passing in bad input entities into opExtrude or opThicken. Extrude requires faces or edges as input, and thicken takes faces or sheet bodies. A good first step would be to add a: debug(context, extrudeEntities); // extrudeEntities is the Query you intend to pass… -
Re: Extrude BoundingType Problems
I wrote the Mounting Boss featurescript that @ry_gb mentioned. I believe I based it on a script that Neil wrote, but added some additional options so it would be more like the version in SolidWorks. I wrote that quite a while ago, but I do remember having issues with the up-to-next end condition, which is why I used… -
Tapered Recess Creation?
I've been struggling with one aspect of a molded boss feature I'm developing. I've tried a lot of different ways to solve this but getting a general case method that is robust is surprisingly challenging. I'm working on a molded boss feature to rival hole.fs in complexity which takes basic choices for screw type/size and… -
Re: Trouble Patterning a FeatureScript
Hi Robert, From a quick experiment I noticed that if you make the extrude do a NEW instead of an ADD it works. I recommend doing the feature pattern followed by a single boolean at the end. Feature pattern expects the body to be merged to (booleanScope) be patterned as well. As it cannot find an instance of it, it cannot… -
How to find the radius or diameter of a curve in Featurescript
I'm trying to amend some code to generate a spur gear - eventually I want it to create a helical gear, but I have to walk before I can run! The starting position is that I will have created a part studio with the relevant gears as blank extruded pieces. The diameter of the extrusions are the gear tip diameters as I'm…
