    Surface to Solid

    Finally it worked but with a tolerance of 0.05 mm. Thank you for your support

    Surface to Solid

    I do the check this way, I just make a section through my sewed suraface. if I see the empty space between the two walls, then It's not a solid. if yes, then its a solid. The funny way is that I convert my enclosed surface to step file and open it again, I extracted all faces again and sew it...

    Surface to Solid

    Thank you for the answers. I still got a question regarding sewing operation while creating a solid body. If with the sew command having tolerance of 0.001 mm there are small gaps in my surface and with a tolerance of 0.010 mm the operation see no gaps, shall the sew operation convert the...

    Complex Swept/Through Curve Mesh

    Hello, I ve got some trouble generating the surfaces that I uploaded here(see attachement). The surfaces are step file, I wanted to re-create them as NX Features(not extract face or synchronous modelling) and I get stuck by not knowing how to proceed. First of all I tried to sweep, curve...

    View rotation in Drafting application

    I solve the problem :) sorry for posting it. It works like this: Right click on the view - Settings - Angle and then set your desired angle.

    View rotation in Drafting application

    Is it possible to rotate a view in drafting application? e.g. My bottom view is not oriented exactly as I want, my wish is to rotate it at 90 degrees in order to save some space(the same view but different direction). Is there any options do rotate it or I shall rethink it in the 3D mode? Thank...

    Surface to Solid

    After reading a lot of posts regarding this issue, I still don't get it how to generate a solid from a surface. I will explain my steps(It's about NX 10): 1 Import the Step data 2 Heal geometry 3 Reopen the healed geoemtry and extract surfaces 4 Sew with tight tolerance (0.001) - no problem in...

    Complex Swept/Through Curve Mesh

    Hello kapmnit123, do you think that adding additional cross section will improve the surface? Or I shall be using other feature instead swept? Thank you!

    Complex Swept/Through Curve Mesh

    Later edit. Is there any possibility to improve the Blend radius in the problematic area? Can it be adjusted in order to have a "flowing" edge bend? This kind of Edge Blend will not let me afterwards to Shell the part if I add additional feature to the part. Thanks a lot.

    Complex Swept/Through Curve Mesh

    First of all thank you for your quick reply. The cut problem was managed but when I'm trying to blend the edges of the surfaces with a 3 mm blend radius - it's not working as I was expecting. Could you please suggest how to create additional 3 mm blend radius(please see attached file). Thank...

    Complex Swept/Through Curve Mesh

    Hello everybody, can any one help me to "cut" the part which I attached with the Swept/Trim and extend funtions. Every time when I'm performing the cut the system will notice that the tool and target do not form a complete intersection. After swept Operation I tried to enlarge the surfaces to...

    NX Extract Geometry Modification

    @cowski which are those synchronous commands to modify the imported geometry? @Frank2288 yes, NX

    NX Extract Geometry Modification

    thread561-362063 Hello everyone, I have a complex STEP file which shall be converted to a "living geometry" using NX. The NX Exctract Geometry Feature makes a great job, but the problem remains with the surfaces which cannot be modified. Is there any way/work steps for converting imported...
