Transform Surface to Volume - SW

Ok I'll try:)

If not, for the basic question, could you show us the area concerned by the defect? By zooming in to avoid privacy issues !

Well, I can't find this area! I don't know how to locate it

So, re-open your IGES file (or STEP214 ;-) ), right click on a volume or surface body function, then "Import diagnostics", "Try to repair everything".

For what remains with errors, you can right-click on the "Zoom on selection" surface.

Yes, it's in progress! (1 leaves with 880 bodies, it tends to take a little time at home ....)

As I said at the beginning, the easiest way is to re-import the part :)

Look where the lines are blue

The problem is when you have blue lines there is a surface discontinuity

So zoom in and visualize all your blue lines and adjust what it takes

post your step if it's not a state secret

Can you post the same one in IGES or other? The one you use to get your sldprt. For those who are in earlier versions of SW.

Edit: agree with GT22!

Here it is in IGES, this part is only a part of the final piece but it is this part that causes me problems.

It's weird, I don't have the same discontunuities in mine:

And these surfaces disappeared during the transfer to the room, there is no problem in the whole room:

Here are screenshots with repair test

So you have a problem with your modeling

Oh yes, with all the patching and the different types of files used, it's sure that I have modeling problems, I'm trying to identify and repair them !

Is this view normal?

I have a lot of doubts

You modeled this piece

@+

Yes yes, but in "DIY" mode it was extrusions then "Combine" then transfers in IGES then retakes in part....

That way, would you like it?

Method, because as some say, it's better to teach someone to fish than to bring him fish (gt22? ;-) ), here's how I proceeded:

  • Import diagnostics
  • Try to repair everything (there are then 5 discontinuities)
  • For each remaining discontinuity, right-click "Repair discontinuity", until the last one.
  • I then have 4 volumetric bodies.
  • There is still a defect on the gate. Insert/Face/Delete, selection of the 5 left faces (5 steps 4, there is a very small one. Choose the option "Remove and fill in discontinuities" and Validate

You're welcome. With this kind of problem, it's a bit of a case-by-case situation.
