Hi all, I have been modelling a blow moulded bottle part using surface tools.
To create various details on the model I have been using the indent feature. When the feature is done I then go to circular pattern with the selective bodies feature (As the bodies is the only selection that the feature manager will allow me to select.)
The circular pattern feature will then work succesfully but layering multiple surface layers over each other whilst patterning the indent feature or not work. This is a problem when I then go to trim the patterned surface or edit it as there are multiple layers.
Note: surfaces have not been knitted together so I am trying to select just the indent body feature to pattern.
I just thought I would post to see if anyone has come across this problem before?
Thanks
Have you experiences this with blow moulding objects before or surface models where instances require patterning?

...or, copy the faces of the indent using "surface offset = 0" and pattern the resulting surface body.
