I do have a problem on SPLIT feature. I cannot seem to apply SPLIT SOLID into an entity/object but, on the other object I am able to apply SPLIT SOLID.
Sketch created using MultiBody and would like to make use of "Make Components" to create an assembly as well as parts.
I have attach a zip file of the ipt. I am currently using Autodesk Inventor Suite 2012.
I'm trying to split a single solid body into 2 solid bodies. The problem is that the body I'm trying to split consists of two separate pieces. I can split a body when it is a single piece no problem, but I'm having the problem when the two pieces are not joined at all.
When I try and split it on the origin plane it gives this error:
"Creating parting line failed. Could not build this Split"
When I try and split it on a work plane lying on one of the pieces it gives this error:
"Creating parting line failed. Modeling failure in ASM. Redefine inputs."
Or, another variation on this erorr:
"Creating parting line failed. Split feature could not create two bodies. Change the Split Tool so that split feature can create two bodies."
I drew a solid model of a structure in Autocad 2010. By using that model, I want to make a FEM analysis in Sap2000. The problem is that Sap2000 takes only polygon meshes (not solids) in 3d. The question is that how can i make a group of polygon meshes of the solid model that represents the structure.
(Since i am not an expert of Autocad, i will be glad if the solution is explained in a simple language.)
I have been working for an hour trying to add this split to this part. I have an extruded surface (ExtrusionSrf10) that I need to use as the parting line. When I try this all I get is a "Create parting line failed.....Errors occurred during update".
I have done this many times on other parts, this one is being a pain. I need the split to have two solids when its done. The reason that I want this is so I can sculpt out a portion of this block.
I use INV 2013. MOVE THE END OF THE PART DOWN TO SEE WHATS HAPPENING. (MOVED TO REDUCE THE FILE SIZE). I am trying to split the solid using the surface as shown.
But, I am unable to do so. Also, I need to create a new surface with 0.50mm offset to create female form die.How to do it.
I have a solid body but I need to make a part of it removable. I want to be able to lift it off and put it back on. The problem is that at the moment it is all one piece. So what I need to know how to do is remove just this one face from my solid, turn it into a seperate part so that I can create a lip on the solid for it to set on once it is reasymboled.
I have a part which I am using the Split tool to make two solid parts. All was fine until a few days later when I went back and made some changes to the surface I was using for the Split. Now, Inventor has flipped the two solid bodies, so later features I had placed now don't work.
if i draw up a 3d sold part as the finished part, can i then draw a new rectangle solid body over the top of this and split the new solid body using the part as the split tool?
the idea being that i am left with a rectangular plate with a female 3d impression of the finished part in the top.I can't seem to use the part as a split tool?
How to create a Circular Pattern of the Solid Object by VBA. I tried it by calculation Polar Transformations but was unsuccessful.
Then Rotated the complete Solid Object which changed original location. Is there any way i can Change the Angle and Mirror instead of Making circular pattern.
I'm trying to create a solid object that can be used for injection molding. My office has Inventor, but I'm only familiar with 3D Max. If I create the object with Nurbs in 3D Max, can I export it so that Inventor reads it as a solid object, and if so, how?
How can I remove the lines in the middle after I press and pull the objects.
Attached is the Untitle.jpg, to make more clearer to you. Blue is the wall and skyblue is the aquarium. I want the back and the front of the aquarium don't have any line in the middle but even I do shade command the fill of the color is still there. Cause if I explode and delete the line in the middle the colors that fill the aquarium are getting rid off See Untitled 2.Jpg to see what I mean. And also how can make the aquarium Untitle 3.jpg transparent?
I am making a design on inventor 2013 for a colleague who does not know how to use the inventor.
I want to make the solid and then set something up that allows the user to change a few of the parameters of the solid in a very user friendly way (i.e. a box that says "cylinder radius" and has an input box so the user can enter a value).
I'm borrowing from the samples library in the Inventor:
Public Sub GetSingleSelection()
' Get a feature selection from the user Dim oObject As Object Set oObject = ThisApplication.CommandManager.Pick(kPartFeatureFilter, "Pick a feature") MsgBox "Picked: " & oObject.Name
End Sub
Works fine, and is fairly simple, but the problem I'm having is if I press the escape key after starting the command, but before making my selection, I'm not able to start the command again.
I realize from my searching that using the Selection (Simple) sample allows for an interrupt, with some modification, was just wondering if there was something similar for this simpler selection option.
I'm trying to split an existing object into two or three separate shapes (please take a look at the attachment) with CS6. Want to cut it along those white pathes.
After doing a live trace and expand on an object I now need to separate one object into two. I tried using both the scissors and the knife tool and neither tool work. When I select two anchor points on opposite side of each other to split the object it just adds a line in the middle with the object as a whole still in tact.
I am new to Inventor API, but have some experiences in SolidWorks API.
How can I select an entity at a given spacial point (x, y, z)? For example, I want to select a face or edge that is on a given (x, y, z) point. I can not find such an API, except for interactive selections.
In 2013 SP1.1 we are noticing that when using offset in a sketch, the offset line/curve is invisible and cant be seen until a zoom is done, then it appears.
I had some success transferring geometries, generated with an advanced math software, to Inventor using IGES files containing Manifold Solid B-Rep Object Entities (Type 186) (see the specification IGES5-3_forDownload-1.pdf). Now I would like to include several Type 186 entities into a single IGES file and form the geometrical unit of these (and them), for which the IGES Boolean Tree Entity (Type 180) seems to exist. I'll do some trial-and-error testing, but it would be very useful to have a (reliable) list of all IGES entities the Inventor IGES import function does or does not support (like these: Transcendata, MoldflowInsight). Unfortunately I could not find such a list anywhere.
Another question: Are the IGES import/export functions of Inventor written by Autodesk (and/)or are third-party libraries used? If the latter, which ones?
im making a cnc milling machine and need to make some things to make. This is a clamp between the magazine and the barrle of a shotgun and i made the drawing in 2d to start whit and then used the EXTRUDE to make it inn to 3d.
As you can see on the top of the object there is no surface and the same goes for the buttom. How can i make a surface?
how to extend a solid object. You can see at the picture that I attached what I mean and also I will try to explain. I draw a fence 1.5 m high. At one specific part of the yard I want the fence to be 2.0 m high. So I moved upper part (horisontal) of the fence to the height of 2.0 m. Now I want the 2 vertical poles to "extend" to that height. Now I can delete those poles and use extend command from the bottom and then use silce command. I was just wondering if their is a command that I can use to grab the pole as it is now and pull it up to the new height if that is possible without erasing it.
I'm trying to draw a solid object. I have the top and bottom base, and all I want is to loft that thing, but when I do, it only lofts the limits - it results in a hollow object.
