linear pattern
linear pattern
(OP)
In a concrete slab 6" thick, I drew a horizontal line indicating my rebar, which is 1 3/4" off both edges, I then made a circle 1/2" diameter and cut-sweep the line.
I want to do a Linear Pattern for the cut-sweep (spacing at 12", number of instances 5). My problem is picking the "features to pattern", I've picked on the 6" thk. concrete slab for the direction to go from south to north,
I can't pick on the (cut-sweep) rebar. Can you tell me what am I doing wrong.

What I was leading up to in my first post was, make sure you select the surface of the cut-extrude if in the graphics area. If the feature is encased in the main block you may have to use the Select other in the RMB dropdown. It is easier select the feature in the FM tree.
BTW - why are you using a Cut-sweep. A regular Cut-extrude would do the same job & make for a smaller file size.

Thanks alot!

You might find it more stable to use a single cut extrude for future edits of your part and to pattern the cut feature. For now, it seems like it works as you need.
