Trouble with Cut Extrude
Trouble with Cut Extrude
(OP)
Hello,
I have been having this issue quite a bit, I'm not sure if my technique is wrong or I am just going about it the wrong way.
In the picture below I am trying to do a cut extrude to remove the small nub, however I can only 'blind cut'. If I try 'up to surface' or 'offset from surface' I recieve the error 'the intended cut does not intersect the model', when the cut does intersect the nub(model), which is part of the overall solid body?
Any thoughts or tips appreciated.

RE: Trouble with Cut Extrude
The cut doesn't work the way you're intending because you're specifying a surface totally outside the bounds of your extruded profile. Also, the surface doesn't envelop your extruded profile even if it did overlap. So SW doesn't know what to do, since your cut is being specified somewhere your sketched profile does not truly concern.
Try the workaround I mentioned and I think you'll be fine.

RE: Trouble with Cut Extrude
thank you for the reply, unfortunately the model is imported geometry (parasolid). I now understand why the cut is not working. Is there another I can try to cut the small nub feature to blend with the existing surface or can I only do a blind cut and then add a radius to match whats there?
Thanks,
Rob

It looks like the nub remains primarily on the fillet, but extends onto the non-fillet surfaces. This may require a fill in two steps with surface trims/extends first (complicated to explain here).
Rob, if you have difficulties after trying it out, you can send me the file by email and I can fix it and send it back. My email address is on the contact page of the site below.
