Re: Loft to get a cylinder with hole (a hose)
I started with an extrude, but then I wanted a draft on the outside but not the inside. The original model where I first saw the issue had a smaller outer circle in the second sketch. That's how I'm solving it right now, extruding the whole cylinder (no hole) with draft, then extrude remove the hole without draft. But I'm… -
Re: Have I understood the document / part hierarchy correctly?
Your thinking is pretty good. A CNC made of extruded aluminum probably won't overload a single part studio. Lots of simple, square, parts. Nothing organic with a ton of features. You'll have a lot of imported items, such as ballscrews/nuts, linear ways, linear trucks, servo motor, possibly spindle, etc. Each imported item… -
Re: Cantilever clamp vid turorial, stuck!
Good point, @3dcad It's not specifically helpful in the OP case, though, because there the problem was not a gap, but a tiny overlap of entities, creating two enclosed sliver areas which remained unselected. As a consequence, a pair of sliver cavities would have been created in the extruded body which butted together at a… -
Extrude Remove Does not do as expected
The below link has the document in question. The first image below shows the remove Blind failing to remove material through the cylinder wall as show in the next image. I need the material removed through the back wall and also up to the internal face in the opposite direction. Note the same exact extrude is done on the… -
Re: ghost bodies during feature creation?
This may be something we have to think about more long-term. For now, I think using debug will be useful. (It highlights the results of a query in red while you're editing the feature). Debug is really intended for developers only, but I think in your case it's close enough to the right UX that it's suitable. Debug will… -
Spur gear and mirroring
I wanted to create a quadruple helix gear by creating a double spur gear and then mirroring it. In addition, there is an axle going through the gear. The problem is that the mirroring fails sometimes. You can see it all here… -
Re: convert entities into sketch
you could use opCreateOutline. That will project the faces onto the plane. otherwise you could extrude up to plane using opExtrude (up to plane may fail, it it does just extrude past the plane using the planes normal, then split the extruded body with the plane using opSplitFace. get the edges created by the split using… -
receiving error message when extruding and I don't understand what it is trying to tell me,
receiving error message when extruding and I don't understand what it is trying to tell me, in other words, I can't figure out what needs changing to fix the issue. The error message is "Boolean operation failed to return a part". when I extrude as new, the new part creates successfully. when I try to add the new part to… -
Adjust Sheet Metal Rip from Edge Joint to Butt Joint
I want the top sheet metal surface of this part to meet the side faces in a butt joint style, but the sheet metal command has no option to do this, and the Joint command is not allowed on previously created joints.Grrr. I can do it with an extrude, but then it doesn't show up in the flat pattern. Any tips? You can see my… -
Help do a cut extrude on a airfoil body
I am trying to cut a circle in a wing airfoil body but I receive the following error:"Extrude didn't generate properly, Boolian operation failed. When I create a simple body like a cube it works fine. What am I doing wrong here? Here is the url to the…
