Problem modifying imported file

Troy Peterson Mar 5, 2008 7:22 PM

I am trying to modify the attached files to the state that the modified version is at, the problem is that the modified file doesn't act right. Meaning when placed in a drawing with "hidden lines removed" or "hidden lines visable" the outline of the file does not show. And the extrude does not act like in the original file. I get an error when I try to knit the surface because the file acts as if it is already one surface.

Any ideas to what I need to do to get the modified file to act right?

Surface-Bodies will not appear in drawings unless you specifically tell it to. Because the modified is a surface body, it will not appear in the drawing. Only the solid body extrusion will.

Also, your surface body is already one surface, so it cannot be "knit" to anything. Try Insert>Boss>Thicken.. and choose the "create solid from enclosed volume" (also keep merge result checked). This should convert the surface body to a solid body.
