Extrude Fails
I was on a roll, creating lots of lofts and then extruding them, then suddenly it wouldn't work on one and it just throws the normal non-intuitive "can't regenerate" message. Is there any way to get more sensical error messages so that I can figure out what's wrong?;) Here's the public document:… -
Re: Extrude Fails
Ah, it's a FeatureScript called Extrude in there;) Got it; thanks. -
Re: Extrude Fails
Really, all the lofts and extrudes are overkill just extrude your surfaces, then thicken https://cad.onshape.com/documents/d42e6f41dfe15f73214cc08f/w/9f4e16f982213c9119a76ed0/e/85c5608385533392b45428ce Turn 50 features into 2 -
Re: Extrude Fails
If you look at the vertices (and their resultant unit vectors), the loft doesn't create a planar surface: vertices: v1 = [-835.72000, 6578.46498, -1243.00003]v2 = [-835.72000, -2009.53507, -1243.00003]v3 = [-835.72000, 6578.46498, -4668.00022]v4 = [-835.70999, -2009.53507, -4668.00022] line vectors:l1 = (v2 - v1) =[0, 1,… -
Re: Extrude Fails
Thicken it is;) Thank you -
Re: Extrude Fails
@famadorian It does not tell you it isn't planar. It just doesnt accept the selection. The faces and sketch regions to extrude box in your extrude is empty. My document has a FS feature that you can add to your toolbar called Extrude It allows you to specify a direction and also do a thin-feature extrude -
Re: Extrude Fails
The loft is between two straight curves, so the face must be planar? Also, why doesn't the error tell me it's not planar, if that's the problem? Also, not sure what you mean with FS? I looked at your document, but it doesn't use a FS function?;) -
Re: Extrude Fails
@famadorian The face may not be quite planar. Pease try this FS, which supports non-planar faces: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/24819ddab7dc83c810eb8246 You may have to specify a direction using two points or a directional face -
Re: Extrude Fails
That is weird. But Thicken does work, and is probably more appropriate for what you are doing anyway
