AutoCad 3D :: Missing Shell Command?

I have a funnel with a curved top. I'm trying to project an inset of the border onto the curved surface and use the shell command to create a hollow funnel with an overhanging lip. I have projected the inset successfully, but cannot select the resulting smaller face, just the whole original face.
A similar problem that I tried while attempting to figure this out was shelling a sphere. 2d sketch -> 3d sketch project onto surface, and try applying shell to the resulting "face". However I can only select the whole face when trying to shell.
I have a blade housing that requires a continuos radius around the profile. It is not a full radius. When I shell the blade, it looks like the raidius wants to continue. I was told I had to use two fillets and the particial radius will not work. However, the continuous radious in the customers requirement. Is there a way to shell this part correctly?

So with black background it is not visible.
But.... in an other drawing it is white....
It seem to be a variable saved in the drawing?
I've just discovered my Command Line Box at the bottom of the screen is missing in action...not sure what I did to loose it. Any COMMAND to get it back?

Any command to fill in a little gap of missing material when you extrude one surface at the angle to the other. It's easy when it's a flat surface to just extrude in the othe direction, but with 3D loft it's not as much fun. See pic attached.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI like the new feature in 2012 where I can type a couple of letters at the Command Prompt and get several commands to pick from but I would like to have the command alias back (for me) such as typing E and the Erase command would be there. I went to Express Tools and loaded the acad.pgp file; typed RE-INIT at command prompt but there was not change. Closed the program and restarted and still no change. When I type E, the first command is EATTEDIT. I don't see any of the aliases abbreviations. How do I get these to show up?

View 1 Replies View RelatedSomehow, in sketch mode, under the draw panel, I have lost the Hatch/Fill command. I've spent several hours searching, and cannot find a way to get it back.
View 4 Replies View Related When drafting either in model space or paperspace, eventually either the command line disappears completely "OR" the command line area increases and prevents me from seeing the tab sheets for accessing paperspace "OR" the mouse arrow gets stuck outside of the drawing area. This is the most non-productive program here after all these years (the worst version ever)
I either have to do one of the following, in order, hopefully to achieve being able to continue to draft;
1. double click the 2D Wireframe in the upper LH corner of the drawing plane.
2. envoke "Task Manager" but then cancel.
3. turn off the Autocad program and start over.
I loaded 2013 Civil 3D and I customized my Ribbon with Zoom Commands I use frequently; everything looked fine...I changed the Workspace to Planning & Analysis and cutomized my Ribbon to include the Zoom Commands but a Button Icon for ZOOM_TO_POINT came up with a cloud & question mark. I went to look for the Icon Image & I don't see it. I made the mistake of changing the Icon to another hoping I could change it back but it's not there. I went to the 2012 verison & the Button Icon is there...first icon listed. Where are the icons in 2012 so I can drag & drop image into 2013?
The icon has a point symbol with a magnifying glass. I've checked other computers and the same thing. Can't find the Image Icon for ZOOM_TO_POINT. It shows up when you load the software but if you want to edit it...it's not there in the CUI Button Icons.
I recently switched to Inventor 2012 from a previous version. I cannot find the create flat pattern command. Some of my coworkers were able to customize their RMB menu to have this command, but I am not even able to do that! (They don't have the command on the ribbon, either.)
I attached a picture of my sheet metal ribbon...
I minimized then maximized Max and the panel was gone. hid and revealed in the roll-up...no go. Restarted...nopeLoaderd a maxstart file from Max 2011...no 32 bit Windows XP sp2 i7 Quadro 3500 4 gigs

I only want the 2 sides and bottom of the Loft to be Shelled, not the cylinder. What do i need to change to get the shell to work?

When trying to shell a part i get the error: the attempted shell operation was unable to solve for a vertex....etc. i have attached the problem part file, of which the drawing is a fairly complicated frame (a chassis concept for a 3 wheeled race car i am designing)
How the part was made:It was created in an assembly using the frame generator tool and then converted to part file using the shrinkwrap feature. When using the shrinkwrap command, i selected: single solid body merging out seams between planar faces, All hole patching, break link, and remove all internal voids. and then when trying to shell i get the error message when selecting a wall thickness of 2mm.
i cant understand why the shell feature does not work as i have successfully shelled a very similar part file (with only slight differences in geometry from the file attached in the same way as what i am trying to do with this part). i can provide this part file upon request or the assembly file from which either was created. i need to shell the component in this way so that i can run accurate FEA (stress analysis) for crash simulations on it

I am trying to make a shell of a mesh feature after I have upscaled it.
I do not think the regular shell technique will work as my mesh feature has hundreds of surfaces. So, I decided to open the file with my part in it and then derive the same part but a little bigger using the derive button. I would then subtract out the smaller, original, one to make a shell of the bigger, derived one.
Unfortunately, when I use this method to upscale, the 2 objects are not concentric so I cannot make the uniform shell that I want to.
I have attached the file of my mesh feature in case you want to see it. not that you will have to convert the object you see on my file into a base feature before doing anything with it. I did not because it would have made the file to big to attach.
This shape will not shell out with a 3mm thickness.....i suspect i may have not modelled correctly....how would you model this shape part so as it can be shelled out?

Tried do the model as diagram shows on the left. But got the message "No lumps left in body" when doing the SHELL command. What does it mean?
I'm currently encountering issues when trying to shell a solid object (any). The command doesn't work for me.

Ex) I would like to cut the tank at the 180 and 270 deg marks. Using the split tool still cuts through 0 and 90. I tried drawing a line from a top view that started from center going through 180, but it still goes through 0 as well.
I've attached an example shell of where I would like to have 6 solids after.
Using the shell feature. I have used a bit in the past and its always done what I want. This go around what I want is to shell without removing any outside walls, which it does no matter I seem to try. I can easily add a new outter wall back in, but if I can shell without removing an outter wall it would be just that much cleaner in my tree.
