Single feature won't rebuild
Single feature won't rebuild
(OP)
I have a rather complicated casting model, in which I've added an extrude feature about 1/3 of the way down the feature list. This feature will not rebuild automatically.
What I mean is I load the part this feature is not part of the model (not suppressed or in error, just missing.) If I use CTRL B then this feature appears.
Opening something that references this model, the feature is missing. Using CTRL B at each model is the only way to get this feature to the final assembly, but of course whenever I re-open the final assembly this feature is misssing until I open all references and rebuild each one manually...
What can I do?
Thanks,
Alex

Editing the sketch, deleting and re-creating the extrude, editing the extrude will cause the feature to temporarily re-appear, but this is not present whenever the model or its parents are loaded.
The model looks like a starfish, there are no sketched fillets extruded, however there are no planar surfaces either, nearly every possible edge is filleted and most surfaces are created from eliptcal/round/semi-round or a complicated combination of these profiles to begin with...we did talk the designers out of having the suctions on the bottom of the arms though...

Up To Body. Select the body to extrude to in the graphics area for Solid/Surface Body . You can use Up To Body when making extrusions in an assembly to extend the sketch up to the selected body. If the sketch that you extrude extends outside of the selected face or surface body, Up To Body can do some automatic extension of one analytic face to terminate the extrusion. Up To Body is also useful with mold parts, if the body you extrude to has an uneven surface.
I have an injection molded part using this up to body verses to surface.

A normal rebuild, only rebuilds the last feature in the tree.
I don't think there is any info on the Ctrl-Q in the help. This is something I was told in the beginning myself, and have always remembered since.

RE: Single feature won't rebuild
I was told that Ctrl-B performs a "local" rebuild, i.e. it rebuilds the last modified feature + "near-surrounding" entities. In this case it seems appropriate because the feature is being edited, but in fact it's the "in-depth" topological relations that needed to be recalculated.Ctrl-Q instead performs the complete rebuild, i.e. it recalculates both the full geometry and the full topology.

RE: Single feature won't rebuild
The article did list the "Verification on rebuild" option. I agree with this, don't turn this on, unless you do Tech support as your job function (like me).
