Is there a way to work on projects that are 4 or 5 Km in size in NX ?

Hi,

I don't remenber the settings to be able to work on projects that are 4 or 5 Km in size in NX ?

Or maybe it's not possible

Thanks in advance

You can find it in Customer Defaults - Gateway - Visualization - View/Screen

Increase the value for "maximum Size for an objects Bounding box"

Or draw a sketch line and give
it your big dimension

Hi Ronald,

Thanks for your remind.

It works to modify the sketch but if we try to extrude, NX say that the section is invalid. Have a look at the part

I might be wrong, but I think the 1 km side length cube is a hard limit on the modeling space. For anything larger, you might need to work on a scaled down version.

Hi Cowski,

I have tried and found that the limit is 500m side length

It is a 1km per side cube, centered on the absolute origin. Limits would be -500m to +500m in the X, Y, and Z directions.

What happens when you try to create something that is 5km long ?

Hi Jerry,

You can play with my part: the sketch is editable, but it's not possible to extrude it

The parasolid limit is 1km cube, centered around the ABS 0;0;0.
But, you can position components further away than that.

I hope that Siemens somehow changes this definition, the company i work for frequently struggles with the 1km3 limit.
The accuracy in NX is , for our purposes , well enough even if we would consider "1" as 1 meter instead of 1 mm.

regards,
Tomas

If something is of size 5km then
chances that it is repeatable
are close to 100%
