Why are things different when the Save Bodies command is used? I have noticed this quite often. Here is an example. Its folded panel and I have added a few flanges and closed the corners. In the Base model, it looks like this with the correct gap:

After I use the Save Bodies command to make a new part, it looks like this

I have also noticed that SW seems to do its own thing regarding corners. This is a native SW flange & corner:

and this is the same corner of the derived part after I have used the Save Bodies command

Not only is this giving me headache to try and find a way of fixing it, it is also making it look like I am doing bad modelling when I am not. This particular part wont even convert to Sheet Metal!

Firstly,

Is there a way to prevent this behaviour?

Second,

SW is a lot of money. It does really frustrate me when little things like this happen quite often. I have a relatively large list of bug bearers that really annoy me......

Any ideas on a fix?

Cheers

Hello again Nacho. I suspect the issue is due to your goofy looking corner shown in your first screenshot. I don't know how it got that way. Can't duplicate it. I did an edge flange and left enough gap where I could still use the "Closed Corner" and as you can see there is a difference. I also suspect that when you did a save bodies on it there was an error in translation due to the goofy geometry. That is why in your saved body there is no gap and resulting issues. I had no problem with an "insert bends" on the body I saved. It would be nice to have your .SLDPRT file to look at.

I'm using 2017. I'll post the part over the weekend. Cant see why think the corner is goofy looking, its a standard corner straight out of SW. The odd thing is, other corners using the exact same settings work ok and others don't. If I create a corner in a base model no matter how goofy it looks, it should maintain relative settings when saved as a new body. In my case, there is no reason for the corner to close on its own when the gap & thickness remain identical.

Thanks

Nacho
