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'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 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 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 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 it possible to split multiple solid bodies. I'm finding that it only allows me to split one body at a time.

image excerpt...
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.
View 9 Replies View Relatedif 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?
I have a part I have drawn in inventor. It is saved as an ".ipt" file.
I would like to split this part into two seperate Ipt files so i can assemble it a different way.
For example,
the part i wish to design is an alternate keying of the one i just drew-
meaning that a solid of the part is rotated 60 degrees in this case.
Is it possible to do this with inventor commands?
convert the part that I have drawn to sheet metal. I have tried to make the part from sheet metal and it did not work out at all. I have attached both versions of the part.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am wondering how many times you can use split command on one part?
I have never used split command before.
if you look at the image below, i would like to split this into 4 pieces, and looking for the quickest and the way that makes the most sense way to do it.
I have a sheet metal part drawn up that I can't manufacture as modeled. The solution is to convert it from a two bend part into two single bend parts that will then be welded together. (I have an iLogic configurator that spit it out or else I would have drawn it right in the first place) Normally I would split it into two solids and derive them into two parts, but because Inventor still doesn't support multi-body sheet metal (this is something I curse about daily, by the way...) I would have to convert it to a standard part first.
The problem here is, I have a ton of edits done to my flat pattern. I have an extruded tab that's needed for my press brake operator that later gets cut off, and I have a fairly complex sketch that I use to program my laser with etch lines for my welders to use. How I can accomplish converting this into right/left parts without having to redo my flat pattern edits?
I'm trying to split a part model for mold analysis. The complex cut line is along a variety of directions and axis. I'm using autodesk inventor 2014,
View 3 Replies View RelatedI separated to a part with the split tool now I want to reconnect the part together, how do I do that?
I tried offesseting the surfaces of each side of the part then combine them using the "stich tool", bu the spliting edge still remains between the solid.
I have made a sheet metal part in inventor (see image). I have made the part as it will be in the finished production state. The problem is that the part is impossible to bend from one single plate, so it has to be made from several plates and welded together.
What i want to do is to remove the four corner plates (denoted with red arrows in the image) and make a flat pattern for these separately.
The reason i made these corner plates in my model is to get the assembled part 100% correct. if i dont, inventor doesnt make the angles that i need between the flanges in the top.
Is there a way to split this part into multiple parts? I would like to split the part on the corners, leaving a small gap for welding.

I've tried to find the source of the problem through supressing features, and when it finally does shell, the casing creates another problem that will not allow me to loft to get the proper appearance.

Is it possible, via VB, to modify solidbodies color ?
Actually, I need to modify part color. But in some cases, the part color and the solidbody color are not the same. So I need to modify the Solidbody color, to match the part color.
I found the bodies in ComponentDefinition.SurfaceBodies, but I can't find something like ComponentDefinition.SurfaceBodies.Item(1).color.
I am using inventor 2013. I currently have a IGES file that doesn't show the surfaces on my inventor drawings. The include all surfaces feature is check but still doesnt show all the surfaces. I just recently imported a IGES file as a soild part but i do not rememeber how i did it. Once I clicked on the IGES file to open and then click options. What do I fill out on the option dialog box that the IGES file imports as a solid part and shows all surfaces on my inventor drawings.

I want to duplicate a solid body 4 times in a part file. i did that by going for circular pattern. But after creating that, i had to add on few more features. I did that in parent solid body. then I noticed that other 3 solid body is not getting updated. I know in assembly file it gets updated but any way in part file.

“Associative body copy API Sample” 2013 API help.
The above code in the API help shows how to do an associative or a non-associative copy in an assembly of one part into another part. ..BUT the non-associative copy does not always work correctly....
I have been testing this sample code and notice the following limitations with the lower part entitled “Create a non-associative solid base feature in the second part”...
The code uses the proxy body for the source object but it does not use the proxybody for the target object and therefore the relative positioning is wrong for the nonparametricbasefeature when it is created in the target object if the real target body is in a different place than the targetbodyproxy (e.g. it has been rotated/moved in assembly space).
I notice that if you perform this manually using the “copy object” button the relative positioning is maintained correctly even if both target and source objects have been rotated/moved in the assembly...
