    Tolerance problem when trimming an Extruded Solid

    In case some are wondering why I'm trying to do this: I have B-side features on these parts; ribs, doghouses, etc. and my A-side surface changes all the time, so I want to be able to switch out my A-Side surface and have my B-Side features automatically update to the new resulting B-Side...

    Tolerance problem when trimming an Extruded Solid

    Nope, didn't work optimizing and healing data. Even extended surfs. Would trim with the sew. I can create my own clean surfs and sew and it does work. Too bad I can't convert a sew surf to a single entity surf.

    Tolerance problem when trimming an Extruded Solid

    You may be right Cowski, it may be the data is not clean enough. I'm getting the data from another source and possibly another cad system. I created some clean surfs and sewed together and was able to trim Extrude with sewn surface. Also, did not have to extend the surfs, which is what I'm...

    Tolerance problem when trimming an Extruded Solid

    Thanks for the suggestions Gentleman. Very much appreciated. To Xwheelguy, I tried to Extrude up to the Sewn Surface, and as you suggested, it needs to be one surface. This seems to be the problem, the Sew surface of multiple compound surfaces. There seems to be a tolerance issue with the...

    Tolerance problem when trimming an Extruded Solid

    Thanks for answering Tomas. When I extrude curves not on a plane, I don't get a Solid and I do have the Body Type set to Solid. Is there something I'm missing. Also, the reason I was trying to do it this way was to avoid extending surfaces, that wont stay connected. I just can't believe this...

    NX 8.5/Newbie/Want to create a Standard Feature.....

    Thanks for the really quick responses, appreciate it. The instances are pretty much moving together. Unfortunately, Nutace, the learning edition software I have does not have the wave geometry linker function. I guess for now I will have to know exactly where I want every thing before I move...

    NX 8.5/Newbie/Want to create a Standard Feature.....

    Hi. I tried creating a standard feature to be used in various locations. I want to be able to change the standard feature and have all others update, but I also want to move one without the others moving. I tried associative copy/instance geometry, but when I moved the original, the other...
