AutoCad 3D :: Sculpt Command - Solid Creation Failed / No Watertight Volume Detected
Jun 12, 2012
What is probably a fairly basic 3d Modelling operation. I have a series of planar surfaces arranged to create a relatively basic object. I am now trying to use the sculpt command to convert these into a 3d solid but keep getting the error message;
"Modeling Operation Error: Operation did not add or remove material. Solid creation failed, no watertight volume detected."
Is there any way of;
A. forcing the sculpt command to work through altering some sort of fuzz distance option etc?
or failing this
B. identifying the non compliant sufaces involved so I can attempt to tweak them to suit?
I used surfaces to try and create a solid but it will not sculpt...new to this feature...Can it be made into a solid the surfaces or is there another far better way to create?
My sculpt command seems to be temperamental. I've created some surfaces using the revolve command and now want to sculpt using those surfaces. It won't show me a preview of the section to be removed and as I keep trying I get bumped out of inventor (fatal error). The other strange part to this is that i t worked once before on one side of the part and not the other. And now that I try again on the part that worked; it won't work any more. ?
I want to make an ipart of a container with as customizable parameters (the Diameter and the Volume of one of the solid bodies).

Here comes the problem:
when i was changing the volume parameter, i recieved an error that this property was read-only.is it possible te use the volume calculation from inventor the calculate back to the diameter or height? ,and also for a solid body?
If so, what do i need to do? I am using inventor 2013 (basic).
I can use SolidSelection.Item for 3D object's handles and but I can't take 3D object's volumes with SolidSelection.
Then I can put object 's handles(1EE) to a collection. Can I use SolidSelection to keep my 3D volumes values? All sub-structure of my program works with SolidSelection Object.
Volume Codes;
For Each tEnt In ThisDrawing.ModelSpace If TypeOf tEnt Is Acad3DSolid Then Dim tEntSolid As Acad3DSolid Set tEntSolid = tEnt tmpVols1.Add (tEntSolid.Handle & "/" & tEntSolid.Volume) End If Next
I can't match with returned result of these codes and SolidSelection.item(i)
For Each tEnt In ThisDrawing.ModelSpace If TypeOf tEnt Is Acad3DSolid Then Dim tEntSolid As Acad3DSolid Set tEntSolid = tEnt tmpVols1.Add (tEntSolid.Handle & "/" & tEntSolid.Volume) [code]......
I have a set of 8 coordinates that outline a pit. I have been asked to calculate it's volume. I have input the coordinates, and have produced a 3D image of the pit. I was hoping to be able to convert the object (the pit) that I have created to a solid, so I could then determine the volume, although it is proving to be difficult.
I face new problem in using solid hatch command ,when I choose poly lines and use hatch some unwanted lines appears inside hatch area which make my shape separate from others part be meant be unify. I am amateur in using auto cad .BTW , my scale is about 5 micron meter and when I export the drawing int pdf all straight lines become curvy .I upload the image which describe itself my problem.

I am having issues with files in Acad that were originally created as VWX files. The boundary command will not work on solid objects from a top view as it does with Acad created objects. Also, I cannot dimension any rounded surfaces because they are splines. Are there any workarounds to these issues?
Is there a way to sculpt a part composed of multiple solid bodies without having to perform the sculpt command for each solid body? I want to use the same work plane to remove material from a part but the sculpt command only allows me to select one body at a time. This means after the first sculpt of one solid, I need to turn on the visibility of the consumed work plane and perform a sculpt on each of the remaining solids.
Not a huge issue, but in the future I may need to do a large number of these tasks. I attached a sample file. I threw it together in 30 seconds so it's not the prettiest looking thing.
I saw some years ago a 3D drawing where hidden lines were dashed after hide command. I tried to find out, how it was made, but nothing. Today I need this solution, but I can't find information, how is it possible.
I've read a few threads on this way back but cannot locate them. I have two surfaces and create a volume surface and it reported the volume as 493 cy. I then ran some sample lines at 25 foot interval and the total volume is reported as 964 cy.
I want to use it as my primary hydrologic and hydraulic modeler. It only makes sense. Well, I got the program to work and had things linked in and was able to route a storm through the network. But when I routed the storms, I had to model double the storage that i expected.
So I went back to the program I'm familiar with - Pondpack by Benltey - and designed the same system I routed in SSA in that program - and got the storage volume that I would expect for a site of this size - about 2 acres.
Is there possibly a setting that I'm missing that makes my outlet structures route slower or less than they should? Or is there some other reason that a system would give this kind of inflated need for storage?
I have an issue with using Bounded Volume or Adding a Boundary to Volume Surface things so bad... = incorrect volumes.. sometimes extremely incorrect.. I understand that the surface rectangle when a boundary is added but this could be horrible if not checked.
I have a bunch of points that I am trying to turn into a solid object. I am doing this by using the 3D poly command and then LOFT, UNION and CONVTOSOLID. this has previously worked well, but this time when I use the LOFT command it does not produce a 'closed' surface, but rather a grid like surface which wont convert to a solid. Are there different settings for the LOFT command, and if so, How do I change them to produce a closed surface?
What I did was take screen shots of my model and went into photoshop and created the texture in black and white with an alpha. I bring it back into mudbox and into my stencils where I line it up. Then I select my sculpt brush and it works a little but it is not using the alpha very well. It sculpts the whole area instead of just the details areas.
I'm no longer able to control the PP (monitor) volume using my computer volume controls. I've always controlled the monitor volume using my computer volume levels, but starting today, that has changed.
The volume is just playing at the level recorded with no way for me to turn down or up.I performed a disc repair and that didn't solve the problem.
I am trying to shell a multi-layered part that has been union boleaned to form a 3D solid. Once I hit shell, eliminate one face for 3D printing, set the thickness desired, command line reads "Non-manifold edge detected" and restarts the shell command. 1.) What is a non-manifold edge and 2.) How do I fix it?
when i open dwg file. message shown , plot stamp detected.and when i give plot drawing print with message " PRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK EDUCATIONAL PRODUCT"
I have been getting this error message alot with 2013. I never got this before with previous versions. I do alot of assemblies that are made of parts that are derived from a main sketch part. The only way to remove the error is by deleting the right part out of the assembly and I can procede. I have read that it has something to do with renaming parts, but I still dont completely understand how I am getting this error. My work flow is the same.

I have been working for the last couple of hours "copying objects" into my part file. I am creating composites from surface data that exists in other part files. I now cannot save my part which I have renamed TEST.IPT for the purposes of this request. This is a common workflow for me when I am recreating a part from multiple imported CATIA files. (I know it is hard to guess withour providing the actual data.)
Problems encountered while saving the document. Error(s) detected while writing segment PmDCSegment in database TEST.IPT Error detected while saving object of type MIxTransactablePartition in TEST.IPT Error detected while saving object of type MIxPartition in TEST.IPT The attempted write operation did not succeed. Part file may be corrupt. The database in TEST.IPT could not be saved
We have this need to have all of the solids in a drawing to be placed in the "solid" layer.
Sometimes folks are drafting lines to develop these solids, and keeping the lines on the "solid" layer, rather than moving them to another layer, or deleting them altogether.
I could get folks to run this command before leaving the drawing.
I'm thinking something along the lines of:
Select all entities that are on the solids layer that are not solids.
If nil, great, do nothing.
If entities are selected, let me do something with them.
I'm hoping the following can be modified ever so slightly.
(setq non_solid (ssget "X" (list (cons 0 "3DSOLID")(cons 8 "solid"))))
