Hi guys. I'm new here. First time ever to join Solidworks. I have a burning question that I would love to have some useful advice
I created a model of a Pelton wheel, but somehow I cannot use the Circular Pattern to multiply a bucket around the circle properly
Hello, and welcome to the forum.
You have a couple of things going on. First, I'd recommend editing the feature that created Boss-Extrude2 and de-selecting "Merge result". That will create your center wheel as a separate body.
Next, edit your Circular Patterns, de-selecting "Features to Pattern" and selecting "Bodies to Pattern" (see #21 at Frequently Asked Forum Questions for a screenshot and longer explanation). I think you'll have much better results.
