Combine Bodies (Subtract)

[Nicole6022]

I can seem to use the combine feature.

I have two solid bodies in my part, that are overlapping, and the combine button is still grey in the feature menu.

I even tried doing it with just two cubes, as I thought maybe my one body was to complex . . . no luck.

Am I missing something? Help!

Thanks.

Are you certain you have more than one body? I just did a test and the combine feature works fine if two bodies exist... even if they don't overlap. The combine feature is grayed out if there is only one body.

Select the second feature, enter Edit Feature mode and deselect the Merge option. Then try the Combine tool again.

Thank you, un-highlighting the merge option did the trick!

I appreciate your help,
