Hi,
It happens quite often to me where I would Mirror a surface long a plane and then when i knit the two surfaces the mirror command creates a copy of the initial surface.
I then have to do Delete/Keep Body on the duplicate (or it may be the original...I don't know). Do you guys know why that happens? See attached visuals.
Thank you.
It shouldn't happen if you have the Knit surfaces checked when you do the mirror.
Hi Dave,
this is correct if i check Knit Surface under Mirror I don't get the duplicated. But if I do a separate Knit command after the Mirror I get that artifact. And it is not a 0 offset.
thx.
Anton Ivanov, to eliminate the duplicate artifact when you do a knit of surfaces, make sure you have the Merge entities checked. This will absorb all surfaces selected. The merge behaves the same way on either of these functions as it would on an extrude.
It is interesting because I have tried a combination of the options. Merge alone, merge with create solid and creating solid only. It was doing it regardless of what was checked. Funny enough, this morning when I recreated the experiment all was good. I don't know what is causing it but it happens to me from time to time and I have been meaning to ask the community to see if other people experience that. Thanks for your suggestions and help.
Sounds like the good old memory dump was needed, first thing in the morning after a hot cup 'o coffee...
Anytime with the help!
Never seen before. Seems to me that you have extra offset surface (=0) hidden somewhere
