How to merge two faces to project a sketch for extrusion

my_lady_blue · March 25, 2017, 10:08am

Hi all

I'll come back to you at the fablab, I was able to evolve well in the handling of the software but here I'm fishing. I would like to be able to do what I put in pictures on my solid but I can't. I was thinking of doing the same as for the extrusion text from one side but I can't because I have two and I can't merge them. I checked merge in lisage but it doesn't do anything. I also tried to project the sketch and I can't get anywhere

Maybe I don't choose the right method if you have an idea. Because it would be great sdi I could do an extrusion as on a flat surface and then I apply leaves

Thanks in advance

Show your Creation Tree to find out how you did it

by opening each function to understand

Is it bodies or surfaces?

if it's surfaces you have to sew

Why doesn't a projected sketch work?

it is necessary to project from curve to surface

it should normally work

what's your version of SW?

You also have the possibility to create a sketch, it's up to you to position this sketch well

via a new sketch plane to be created

and on this sketch create the shape and make your extrusion

The fablab version is the 2016 version

If I make a projected curve like the blue line but from a closed sketch e.g. rectangle I can't select the projected curve to extrude

Try to sew all your surfaces already

so that there is only 1 surface left

and tick once formed a volume

option

You also have the possibility to thicken your surfaces to create volume

you must have?

-1 empty volume folder

-1 surface backrest with X surfaces

that I don't see in your tree of creation

I surfaced stitched and I selected create a solid and merge the entities but it doesn't just give me a surface.

For your option I don't see where to look

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?

my_lady_blue · March 25, 2017, 4:05pm

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

gt22 · March 25, 2017, 5:28pm

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?

gt22 · March 25, 2017, 5:53pm

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.

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 .
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.
If necessary, move the sliders to change the range for which the discontinuities are displayed.
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.
To zoom to a discontinuity, right-click a selected discontinuity in the PropertyManager, and then click Zoom to Selection.
