I am trying to find the volume of the voids in my hollow part. So far I have been creating 2 reference planes on each flat side of my part. Then I use the intersect function and select both planes. This does not work - what am I missing?
I should mention that some tutorials say to also select the part body when using the intersect function but for SW2016 the program explicitly does not let me select the part when using the intersect function.
Ok after enough toiling I solved my own problem! For all those interested, the reason I could not use the Intersect function was because I had setup my part as a sheet metal part.
My part is a flat part that COULD be made from sheet metal but apparently this construction method has some limitations. I instead extruded the z dimension with the normal extrude function and I was able to use the Intersect function on the resulting part!
