Hello everyone, here I simply want to make this piece in 1 single body. I can't do it at all. I can't clean it either. I tried to save it in different formats but nothing helped. I'm on SolidWorks 2024.
The advantage of this way of doing things; This is because the part created from the assembly remains linked to the assembly. If you modify a part in the assembly, the part created follows with a CTRL-Q or the bicolor (rebuild) light when the assembly is opened.
So I managed to make the part in 2 bodies but I think I can do better. Here are the documents. 3.SLDPRT Test Assembly (886.6 KB) Test Assembly 4 2022.SLDASM (444.2 KB) The tutorial given helps a little I find myself between 7 bodies and more than 2 bodies but it's not crazy yet.
If the part is created, to combine bodies (provided that they have a common area, as said before), there is the function... combine Menu insert>functions>combine.
I think it's more the way used to model the part than solidworks that was perhaps not the most relevant. Now that it's done like this, we need to make the bodies touch, either by adding a discrete bridge-body or by shifting 1 or 2 vertices.
Precision; A common edge or a common vertex (vertex) is not a valid contact area to combine 2 bodies (see image). They have to touch each other via 2 faces, or they have to cross each other.
