Hi everyone,
In the attached file i want to cut the split spline i made and remove that surface, but it wont let me cut the curved ones. Someone tried helping me and I so that it is possible to do, but he has the 2012 version and i use the 2011 student. I did see that he used untrim surface after the offset, i dont know why or if it make a difference.
What can i do?
I cant open the attached model because im using an older version (2011), so I cant see in specific how you succeded in making it happen
1. Its says that he cant thicken the surface, no matter how i try to do it
thats why i would like to see a screenshot showing what surfaces you chose when you did a surface-offset, and same for the untrim feature
Like this picture:
Hi Shar,
the file i attached is a vdo file.try to open it in a media player like VLC or quick time.

Please Ravi, Can you explain or show how you did that 3Dsketch and show what surfaces you chose in the Surface_trim5 Surface_Untrim1 and the thicken cut?
Special the 3Dsketch, how did you draw it on the surface ?
Hi Shar,
Yes that a Spline on a surface,used it for trimming.you can use 2D sketch also if you have dimensions on a projected plane.
I selected the bottom surface For offset by 0mm
Trimed the offsetsurface using 3d sketch before extending.
Refere the "untitled.mp4" attached above

Hi Shar,
Ive attached the Model in your previous post.
To trouble shoot these types of issue.
1. First do "Thicken" operation and see is covering the correct volume to be removed or not.
2. if the volume to be subtracted is not covered, extend the surface accordingly.
3. then remove thicken and do thicken cut.
or after step 2 you can do a boolean operation (Subtract).
