Case-on-file function step

3D Design Volume Model

Hello

 

Does anyone have an idea to insert a volume on a part received as a STEP file.

I can't do a shell function (Greyed out logo).

 

Thank you in advance,

 

Christopher.

Hello

 

You have to try the offset surface as shown here:

as @ Lucas says

or you close your surface and you filled it

and you take over the shell function with the desired thickness and do everything you need afterwards

Hello

 

Personally, I would have first closed the hull with additional surfaces to fill the holes and then, a sewn surface function.

This allows you to eliminate the imperfections of the surface and transform the whole thing into volume (with "trying to create a body").

 

After that, the shell function should be easier to set up.

 

Good luck

 

EDIT: So basically you do as gt22 said... Will it teach me to read:D

Ok thank you for your answers.

 

Another quick question : On my attached photo you will notice that there are facets instead of diameters, is there a way to avoid this ?

What do you call facets (the sorting along the cylinder)

if like indicate + up you transform your room into a volume after you can modify everything to your liking

I think the streaks are surface cutouts, so nothing serious.

By trying to sew the surfaces already, the lines will disappear.

In fact, despite your instructions, I still can't do it because I have discontinuities that Solidworks can't repair. It also doesn't  work when trying to sew the surfaces. This import comes from an electromagnetic simulation software that makes a mesh and, so I think I'm going to have to rebuild this part from the beginning.

 

Nevertheless, thank you for your help.

When the SolidWorks repair doesn't work, you can try removing the problem surface:

 

  1.  Click Delete Face  on the Surfaces toolbar or click Insert > Face >Delete.

    The Delete Face PropertyManager appears.

  2. In the graphics area, select the faces you want to remove.

    Face names appear under Faces to Delete .

  3. Under Options, click Remove and fill gaps.
  4.  Click OK .

    The faces disappear and the adjacent faces expand to form a surface without discontinuities.
