Unable to knit body into a solid

B. Johnson Oct 16, 2016 7:32 PM

Hi there,

I am trying to knit this body into a solid. I'm definitely a new SolidWorks user, so pardon the messy feature tree. My instructor said to knit the solid bodies as I build it, but its a bit too late for that now and it seems nothing knits together. If anyone could give me any advice or direction, that would be much appreciated! Thanks. My file is attached for your viewing and editing pleasure.

It knits fine for me with no problem creating a solid (2016 sp. 4.0). You should use "Knit Surface" and then you can select all nine surface bodies from the Surface Bodies folder at the top of the feature tree. Then tick "Create solid" and you are good to go.

Nice work and not at all messy tree - at least compared to mine. The structure might be even better using folders - just a suggestion.

Yes, it works in SW2016SP04.
See SOLIDWORKS web help for more details.
