Sorry I change the Circle to 15 Inches instead of Meters and Still giving me the same result
Finley, I would also ask what version of SW you're running currently. I'm on SW2017 but do not see the entire "Feature Scope" portion shown in your screenshot. I was trying to replicate your issue thinking that the taper going off into nothing would error out but alas it does not, there goes my thought. I do find the whole "Feature Scope" thing interesting though, maybe your just on a newer release of SW?
Hi John,
You get the feature scope when you have 'Merge Bodies' checked and the part already contains multiple bodies.
That's why I come here. Gotta keep checking the 'learn something new' box!
I am using Solidwork 2017 Premium

I thought it might be because the taper goes past the "Sharp Point" but nope, it handles that just fine.
Here you go
Did you all figure out anything for the issue I am having??
It's because your model is so big. When modelling really, really big or really, really small things, it's sometimes advisable to model to scale. You'd also probably do better if your model were centered on the origin instead of its full length extending in the negative Z direction.
Theoretically, the modeling envelope for parts is a 1km cube centered on the origin. In practice, some (yourself now included) have found the limit to be smaller.
Your feature succeeds when you relocate the sketch closer to the origin. You can un-check "merge result", then do a body move/copy to get the thing where you want it and then a Combine feature to join it back up again.
You have obviously spent a lot of time on this model. However, based on the modeling methods, lack of dimensions, etc. I would recommend the tutorials or in some sort of training. Your next model will happen much quicker.
Hi Finley,
Could it be because in your screenshot you have the dimension set to "5m" which is 5 metres. Is that really the required size?
Just curious.
Dave.
