Creating a solid referencing a surface

[tbrightman]

I need a little help. I need to create a solid part using a surface (created from an iges files) provided to me, as reference.


I'm still working on 2001i (with no chance of grading.)


Basically, I want to add mass to one side of the solid.


Thanks in advance.

well if it's all enclosed then right click the import feature in the model tree


redefine>attributes>Make Solid


if it's open, like a sheet of paper you will have to close it all up, so that it can be a solid.....then join it up to a quilt and then


feature > protrusion > use quilt


a image would help

The surface is an open (sheet) surface. I need to work withthe top surface and need to simply filing in the area below (inside).View attachment 3249

That's nasty.
There probably isn't going to be ~an~ answer.
If it's a commercial endeavor you should seek
professional help with it.


Is it NURBS or facets? Can you share the IGES?

Hi,


Couldyou try toextrude the edge perpendicular to a plane, and merge it? In sketcher, you could try using the edge.
