How to merge two faces to project a sketch for extrusion

If you have several surfaces it means that not all of them are sewn

so selecton your surfaces

and you should find a blue line between the surfaces that are not sewn

so couds / couds

to have only 1 surface

No matter how much I sew, it doesn't  change if someone would be kind enough to look at my file to see where I did something stupid because at my level I'm drying

you need to post your file already

I'm under SW 2012 so I can't open your file

In your Surface folder you have how much surface area

maybe you have to look at the size of the seams 

your holes are too big

Take a few screenshots by selecting your surfaces

to see how many surfaces you have

and post the

question why do you have X symmetries?

because I made the symmetry as I went along, why?

so take each symmetry / pair

and sews

then you sew what you sewed

to have only 1 and only surface

For the surface file where is it?

look to have a figure greater than the discontinuity  of the surfaces 

you have the discontinuity values displayed just below

Display seam discontinuities on the component

When you sew surfaces, you can view seam gaps within a range in the Stitched Surface PropertyManager and identify any gaps that are on the component.

  1. When a part is open, click When a Part Is Open, click  (Surfaces toolbar) or right-click in the FeatureManager Design Tree, and then click Edit Feature . 
  2. In the PropertyManager, select the surfaces and then select Discontinuity Control.

    Discontinuities are listed in the PropertyManager if they are seam discontinuities that are within the range specified in the Show Discontinuities in Range option . Open  discontinuities have values that are higher than the seam tolerance.

  3. If necessary, move the sliders to change the range for which the discontinuities are displayed.
  4. Select a discontinuity from the list.

     

    To select a discontinuity, click the Stitched Surface icon . To select multiple discontinuities, press CTRL before selecting them.

    The discontinuity is located on the component.

     

  5. To zoom to a discontinuity, right-click a selected discontinuity in the PropertyManager, and then click Zoom to Selection.

Thank you

If I understood correctly I looked in my screenshot everything is good

 

so there is only 1 surface left?

If so, 2 options

_1-it is enough to thicken this said surface inwards to have a volume of skin with a thickness

_2-Requires to see a volume at the last seam of the said surfacr to have a full body

After via a sketch nothing prevents you from projecting on this said volume

It remains to select the answer that solved the question

by clicking on the resolved box to the right of the said answer ;-)

I put the file because I can't do it if a person can take a look


spinnerbait_beast_12.sldprt

and as already said I can't open your future version file

Send my file to step

or parasolid

In Step


spinnerbait_beast_12.step

See attached 

I completely took over your piece via your step

there was too much flaw

among other things on the head and symmetries

As you hadn't prepared your part to make junctions that fall on the same plane so an undeniable and uncontrollable angle

I was able to thicken your body but your head impossible

so it's very difficult to do something clean

little better but you have to spend + time

with a projected sketch having made a plane shift

the attached file in SW 2012 so you can open it ;-)

Hello

Have you tried to convert this projected curve into a 3D sketch, and then to make an extrusion specifying its orientation?

@ leblanc 

His problem was a non-homogeneous surface

that is to say that the half piece was made via 4 surfaces

with huge discontinuities due to lack of curve preparation

opens its file me I couldn't see the version 

and you'll understand

so since it didn't have a single surface

it is difficult to project on X surfaces since it is not selectable

@ my lady

you should as much as possible for this type of room

only work on half a piece since it is symmetrical

and you'll do your symmetry completely at the end

and if you want to respect your image

you haven't finished coming to see us ;-)

For the eye and its contour there is some reluctance of the log

so we'll have to use some malice ;-)

for fun
