Unable to thicken the surface

David Flemming Sep 14, 2015 9:03 PM

Hello fellow users,

I know this is common question but the other posts I've read didn't have the answer. I've looked at the Check feature and checked the minimum radius curvature and used a thickness less than that and the part still didn't thicken.

I've attached the part. It is a very simple part but the problem persists.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks,

David

What is that fin groove for? Why don't you thicken the part first and then then add that.

I believe with thickening in current condition, there are chances of zero geometry. And hence the fail.

  Hey I figured it out...the small openings on the sides were causing it... I filled them up and it worked.
  
  Thanks

    Yes those were the issue and that is why asked what was the groove purpose. Glad to know that all is good

      The grooves were gonna be used to have another part wedged into it. Turns out I don't even need the grooves anymore...I guess it was a good learning experience anyway, lol
