Dear Forum,
I am an intermediate user of solidworks 2007 student version. I wish to apply a detailed surface architecture to the surfacea large 3D curvedsolid. Is there a way to generate the architecture on a 'token' area and then apply or wrap the larger solid with this architecture surface.To date i ahve been attempting this but am unsuccessful, Igenerated the token architecture (from multiple 3d extrudes, extrude cuts etc) and generated a "knitted surface" from the surface of the token, and then used the "Face" -> "replace" option, to replacea face on the larger 3d model withthe defined architectureknitted surface,however i keep getting the error:
"Rebuild Errors: The feature could not be created because it would produce self intersecting geometry"
Is there another way to do this??? or is there anything that i am likely doing wrong?
Kind regards, and well done on a fantastic SW user forum.
