    How to change radius of multiple circles in a sketch at once

    Hi, Yeah that's a good idea. But I don't know why it is not working. I removed all previous contrains of the circles and then tried to constrain them to equal radius. But when I click on equal radius I can't select any circle. And also if I first preselect them and click on circle it is not...

    How to change radius of multiple circles in a sketch at once

    Hi all, Does someone know if there is a way to use like a reference as 'radius R of a circle' and setting the radius of 30 circles in a sketch to this parameter? It would be nice if I could change the radius of all the circles at once by changing this parameter R. For example by changing the R...

    Subtracting error: the tool and target do not form a complete intersection

    Thank you very much, cowski and Jaydenn. Due to your help, I discovered the problem and was able to fix it. Actually, I had already curves, but when I projected them to the upper surface, the curves weren't project on the holes, because the holes were part of the surface. So I just drew...

    Subtracting error: the tool and target do not form a complete intersection

    Hi all, I am designing a cap for EEG-investigation of a Sprague Dawley rodent. I wanted to make grooves in the top of my cap by: - Drawing curves on the top surface by making a sketch and project this sketch on the top surface - Use these projected curves to make tubes with the command 'Tube'...

    Extrude line/curve to cilinder to create tunnel (by specifying diameter or radius)

    I still have a problem. I was drawing multiple curves on a sketch and than projected them on the surface I want, that goes perfect. But when I want to use the tube command, I get the error: Gaps in string or multiple loops, as you can see in the attachment. Does it mean that I really have to...

    Extrude line/curve to cilinder to create tunnel (by specifying diameter or radius)

    @Jerry1423: Yes, I have a .STL-file that comes from a scan of the skull of a rodent. =) @cowski: Thank you very much for this very useful tip. I tested it and it worked, I can continue my work now. Kind regards, Joachim

    Extrude line/curve to cilinder to create tunnel (by specifying diameter or radius)

    Hi fellow engineers, I have a quite simple question, but I don't know if it is possible in Siemens NX. I searched in the Help and on the net but didn't found a solution yet. Is it possible to draw a line or curve and then extrude it to a cilinder just by specifying diameter of radius? The...

    Building volume on a lightweightbody

    Thank you guys for helping me out. I succeeded to do what I want. =)

    Building volume on a lightweightbody

    I am now more aware of the true nature of this leightweight body, it is a facet body. Is there a way to make a surface that lays on top of this facet body where I can work further with to make the cap? Is there a way to convert it somehow to a solid body? I searched on other topics in this...

    Building volume on a lightweightbody

    Hi all, Some weeks ago, I experienced for the first time with this software and with your help, I managed to build a 'plastic cap' on top of a skull of a human (see in the screenshot in attachment). Now I want to do exactly the same but with a leightweight body that show a rodent. This rodent...

    Extrude a curve along a surface

    OK. Thanks, Cowski, I addded the ribbon tab Application. Toost, I tested the hotkey successfully. Thank you for helping me out guys!

    Extrude a curve along a surface

    Hi Tomas, Thank you for the additional advice. But how to switch in my case from Sheet Metal to Modeling? I think I don't know how to do it? Can you please help me out? Kind regards, Joachim

    Extrude a curve along a surface

    Ok I fixed my problem. The problem was that one extrude was not long enough, and there was no real intersection. You can call it a stupid mistake, for sure. :p But just to contribute to this forum, I show in attachment my intersection step and result. THANK YOU GUYS! =D...

    Extrude a curve along a surface

    Yeah, I think I am almost there, as you can see in the attachment, thanks to your help. =) What I did know is the following: Extrude the top face of the skull with a height of 20 mm (because my cap needs to be 20 mm in this case) Make an intersection curve of a plane (parallel with the...

    Extrude a curve along a surface

    Hi Carl, Many thanks for your advice. I have a new attachment =) What I did now is the following: I made a intersection curve out of a plane parallel with the XZ-plane and the top of the skull. This intersection curve was projected than 'in the air' specifying the thickness of the cap I...

    Extrude a curve along a surface

    Hi colleagues, I have a specific question that is best explained by this screenshot in attachment. I want to do the following. I drew a closed curve on top of the skull surface. Now I want to extrude this closed curve along the Z-axis with the shape of the skull surface. So I want to draw 'a...
