your hole doesn't pass on an axis of symmetry by hassard?
Hello
Here is what AC.COBRA gave me as an answer to one of my questions, it can help.
insert==>featureworks==>options==>dimensions/relationships
h.gagea> Unfortunately, I can't attach the file (it's a confidential product).
On the other hand, I did as you said by making a copy. And after the import diagnosis, I have the same face that becomes transparent... I have the impression that it comes from the Ø2mm holes that are too close to the wall and therefore it creates a conflict for Solidworks (which should not have on topsolid).
gt22 > No, this is not an axis of symmetry.
a.leblanc> I'll try and I'll keep you posted.
Well then, it's weird, but it works.
You can save a copy of your part without the features (or delete them), then run the FeatureWorks and view the parts next to each other and drag the features you made into the copy part window.
Unfortunately, you will have to reconstrain all your sketches anyway.
Otherwise, it's not great but you can always save it as a step and run the FeatureWorks afterwards.

Your piercing if you move it, what does it do?
How you do your piercing
if your drilling overflows your room
Create a piece of room that you will hide later
At any rate, wouldn't a little Ctrl +Q do the trick?
And also check that the perspective view is not activated.
a.leblanc> I can't do function recognition, it gives me the following error message: "Entering body is invalid. Please check the part using the SolidWorks Verify Entity command."
gt22 > In my first post, I attached the screens of my problem in the zipped file.
For the drilling, nothing better, I tried to add material to another part of the part (but still at this surface) and it becomes transparent again, after removing the drilling.
When you made the diagnosis, did you have any defective faces?
Are you sure you only have volume?
To check the body: Tools --> Evaluate --> Check
a.leblanc> It would be so simple if a Ctrl+Q was enough or the perspective view was activated... Unfortunately this is not the case for either of them...
h.gagea> I have the problem on the face that becomes transparent but I can't fix it...
I think the problem comes from the Ø2mm holes (already existing on the step) which are tangent to the perpendicular surface... Well I don't know how to fix it...
make a cut to know if everything is in volume

We have to start from a stable import base.
Make a copy of the file, remove the functions, then redo the defective surface.
Once the volume is closed and clean, you save it under xt.
Then you open your current file , right click on your import, "edit function" and you go to get your xt file.
To finish you replay your functions on the new import.

Otherwise you can always try to do your piercing with a body tools.
Instead of a pocket you make an extrusion that you don't fuse with your main body (box unchecked in your "fused result" function), then you combine > subtract

Make a hole of 2mm +/- 1μm (if possible).
it will be "transparent" when drawing and it will solve the tangency problem

From memory, Topsolid handles zero thicknesses better than solidworks.
If you shift your tangent face by 1μ (or less depending on the accuracy of your dimensioning) you remove the tangiance and normally the zero thickness problem disappears

Not having managed to solve the problem, I tinkered with my 3D. I added material to have a solid again (and no longer have a transparent surface) and then I redesigned the holes at 1.999 (instead of 2mm).
Thank you all for your answers.
@ nathalie_1....; -)
your answer that you credit with best
is exactly my answer from 2 days ago
among other things, the addition of material
@+ ;-)
gt22> I didn't put a better answer because my solution is a mix of several answers that was postulated... Yours for the addition of material but also stefbeno for that of the smaller holes (because it was tangetic to the surface)
