Hello, I was already wondering if anyone else has this problem (I hope so...:)) and especially how to fix it.
Let me explain.
On some assemblies, it was impossible for us to make a cut on any plane or at any place... The following message appears: "The cut line has not cut the model correctly, check that it crosses the model"...
We work very little in surface ... so it's volume and I'm in 2014 SP5...
it's not the first time, I usually manage to get around the problem by cutting elsewhere but on this 3D (my colleague's) nothing helps... The only reason I see is that there are imported parts from manufacturers...
Usually, this is when the cutting plane is tangent to a curved surface. Indeed, try to delete all the imported parts to see if it works without then reintroduce them one by one.
Either one of the parts crossed is in surface => and therefore it cannot display a section.
Either the cut line is tangent to a part inside the assembly => and therefore Solidworks does not understand where to cut.
So I think we need to check and repair the surface bodies to create volumes. or if possible modify the cut line with a slight unhook (qq tenths) and continue on your way as if nothing had happened.
Or maybe it's because of ac cobra 427 who scratches the nickname of gt22.. and this is worthy of the 3rd World War! ;-)
