3D Modelling Error!!!

[FarrOut]

Hey All, I am currently using AutoCad04, designing a large 3D assembly, and I keep getting this error in the command line:

Failed to calculate silhouettes of a face.
Modeling Operation Error:
Coincident face_face_ints with different body vertices


I've tried auditing, recovering, purging, etc, and this error still comes up! It still lets me carry on my design, but every so often this error will show up...anyone have an idea?

bump!

From another posting..

This is a relatively common occurrence when working with 3D solids where UNIONing will result in extremely thin "wedges" of solid or gaps in solids. OR when two coincident faces have a very small overlap in the plane of the faces where UNIONing will result in very thin "ledges" at that plane.

Find the offending solids by UNIONing two at a time. Once they are determined, you can use SOLIDEDIT Face Move to modify the offending face. Make sure that the faces of the desired UNION solids either overlap by a small amount, OR they have precisely aligned edges.
