In V4 I have multiple faces that make up a sheet metal profile. How can I create a solid defined by the faces? I want to create tooling in order to stamp this particular shape into the sheet steel.
You have to create a skin with all of the surfaces you have and after that split a solid with the skin. Be careful on your solid (the stamper), it must be cut completely with the skin.
Good information, I tried using the split command however I get "Too short surface" error message. I varied the size of the solid relative to the skin and I continue to get the same message. Any thoughts?
You do not have to split. You can use SolidE -> create -> complex -> offset, or if the skin/face is planar, you can use SolidE -> create -> canonic -> prism.
