I'm trying to slice the grey cylinder object in the attached drawing with a curved network surface. Rather than slice around the path of the surface it seems to have just taken a planar slicing plane between the 2 vertical edges of the network surface.
I would like to know how can put planar surface to solid object which surface is curved like cylinder for example. When start draw from first point rectangle of planar surface follow x cordinate not that solid object. How to do that simply?

I want to extrude a big number of pillars to a rather complicated surface and that works out fine. But each end of the pillars warps around the surface and I want them just to go up to it and stop with a resulting horizontal face.

Any object set to plot grey (any grey), that is in paper space, is plotting black only in one of my layouts. similar objects in model space and in both spaces on other layouts are all plotting accordingly.
View 0 Replies View Relatedhow I can add more volume to curved object surface? Say for example I have a plastic cup.You can think of this as cylinder object ,which was the shelled out using the shell tool and then had its base sealed.
Now at certain parts, I would like to increase the thickness and then blend it the rest of the surface(may be chamfer its edges) .
At certain parts on curved surface I would like to add an extra mm, I think if the surface was flat I would just sketch the shape, then extrude it by few mm and smooth the edges by doing a chamfer
But how can this be done on surface that is curved? Or multi curved for edges?
I'm designing a press for a skateboard similar to: Rib Press
I have the board modeled: (see attached)
Now what i want to do is generate those ribs as seen in the picture.
I tried creating a block that intersected with the board and tried to split the rib at the surface, but to no avail. I think the issue has something to do with the curve of the board in two directions, but i can't seem to get it right.
if you are having trouble visualizing what i'm asking about, look at this. I want to be able to figure out the exact shape of those center ribs to print and eventually cut out of wood.
way to get rid of the two gray boxes the slice tool leaves behind?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIf you look in the attached PDF, I have an elliptical wall that also has changes in elevation. call it a compound radius if you will. What I have to do is to make a wall cap to go on top of the wall. I know, sounds fun.....I have the surface on the right of the PDF and i need to figure out how i can take that shape and have it lay flat so that i can cut this shape out on my CNC. i know I can use the FLATSHOT command, but this will not give me the true shape of the board.

I've recently had to export DWG files to PDF and the lines print in black whether they are angled/curved or straight. The problem I'm experiencing is that a number of objects that have been rotated at an angle or lines that are curved appear dark grey on the screen in PDF format. I'm using the DWG to PDF. pc3 with monochrome setting selected. I've checked the Plot Style Table Editor and all colours have been selected to print 'black'; greyscale is 'off' and screening is at 100%. Is this a 'bug' or is there a fix for this problem?

View 9 Replies View RelatedIm trying to slice a surface into sections. Im not much of a surface modeller, never really tried. For example the surface is a cylindrical shaped piece. Multiple faces, and pieces. When i slice through it, it slices some prices and others it fails to slice. Confusing. I would upload the piece but i cant due to contract restrictions. But is there any methods of slicing or tips that are a common practice when working with surfaces?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a surface where I would like to make a mould of the inside. I have done this before with other surfaces imported from 3DSmax by placing it in a solid block and use slice, but this one just won't do it!
I get this error: Modeling Operation Error: Inconsistent face-body relationships.
I have attached the dwg file here.
I'm using ACAD 2014 Win8 64bit.
I need to slice a cylinder with a surface but the slice command keeps giving error " Inconsistent face-body relationships".
I created the surface from a solid that I created using solid intercept between the cylinder and another solid that the cylinder actually passes through (a housing I have). In my attachment I do not include the housing, just the cylinder, the solid intercept and the surface from the a face of the solid intercept.
I tried increasing the U & V isolines of the surface, and scaling it up so that it isn't bounded by the cylinder, but that didn't work.
I'm willing to try any technique that achieves the same goal - I need the butt of the cylinder to contour to the housing so that I can do a JOIN and have a solid housing with a cylinder sticking out of its face. The inside of the housing is hollow with a 0.05 inch wall.

I created a 3D raster surface from point cloud using create from point cloud tool ( Planning and analysis workspace, create tab). Now I would like to cut/slice this surface to be able to offset one part related to the other.
How to do it? I tried with the slice tool but I can only select the object and after nothing happens.
when I try to use rulesurf between 2 circles on an angled plane, the surface twists instead of drawing a cylinder.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an assignment. I've done all the work until i reached the end of it which is adding 2 cylinders to a weird looking object.
I'm trying to put the cylinder which shares a space between a wedge and a region but I'm unable to subtract it.
I am developing an assembly, however it needs to move a cylinder to find a specific surface.
How do I determine through simulation that dynamic surface will collide with one another?
I'm trying to cut through the angled object on the underside of the curved object to cut it into 2 sections and remove the upper, so that I'm left with the upper curved deck covering the front object.
I've tried Slice and Separate and Subtract but I can't get what I want.
So I need a starting point on how to draw on a curved surface.

how to draw the "slot" I know in solid works i can "project" onto the surface and then so a cut.
I have a curved surface and I don't know a right way to export it. If it like Editable Poly then I have a mesh in DWG. Then I set to Faceted and optimized then merge faces (to receive one face) and then convert to surface but after that I have a surface with multiple triangles. This is one way which I use, I tried many ways but I have the same results.
This is what I have after export from 3DS MAX (same as DWG, SAT, IGS)

I want to find a shortcut to be able to slice off the corner of an object (see picture below). Is there some sort of build in function to do so?

I have been manually doing this by (1) creating a square surface (2) re-positioning it over the corner and (3) using the slice command to ultimately slice off the piece and delete the excess.
As you can surmise, step (2) [re-positioning that damn surface over the corner], takes FOREVER.
I'm loft retarded. What I did here was loft to a tangent work plane, then did a sketch on the top surface and extruded the shape that I want. There has to be a better & easier way.

View 5 Replies View RelatedBasically I’m trying to create a circular cut in a flat pattern for a hole made in a rolled piece of sheet metal.
I have created a "case" (this is what we call it) to mount an axial fan, it will require holes for mounting the motor plate. When I create these holes in the rolled case assembly they appear to be fine, but when I flatten it they are turned into two sets of semi-circles or ellipses.
This is only a problem when we run the parts on our Laser; the laser will attempt to start the cutting at the end of each of these "semi-circles" causing a hotspot where the two semi circles meet. This causes the hole to be slightly smaller than intended in this area causing great difficulty inserting bolts, they normally require drilling.
Our material thicknesses vary from about 3mm to 8mm.
I’ve included a crude example of what I’m trying to achieve. To really see what I mean, place the file into a Drawing file and zoom into the hole. I couldn't add the file, with only 3 features the file was 5mb in size.
By the way, I have a temporary solution, it's just a little complicated. (My solution: use square holes first in the un-flat, use the diagonal lines from each corner of the square in a sketch on the flat pattern to place a circular cut on its mid points.)

I have tried, such as creating lines in a 3D sketch and projecting the geometry to surface, and creating a work plane, and both don't seem to work for me.... I'm trying to cut out a 5.8mmx14mm rectangle out of a cylinder. When I project the geometry to the cylinder's inner surface, I cannot trim the solid in order to extrude. I've attached the file.
