Replace sew
(OP)
Hi
I want to ask if anyone knows how to use replace, for sew.
So I have more surfaces witch are sewed and I want to replace it with other new surfaces that are also sewed
Thanks.

RE: Replace sew
UGS trainers taught us to only use one sew feature if possible, in order to avoid modeling tolerance stacking that would result from multiple sews.

Thanks for all
RE: Replace sew
So, what I would do in your case is the following:
1. Take the NEW sewn sheets (they don't NEED to be sewn and I recommend they NOT be sewn) and reorder them BEFORE the original Sew.
2. Make the original Sew is the Current Feature then Edit the Sew parameters and click on the NEW surfaces to add.
3. Make the very last feature in the Model Navigator the Current Feature. All the features after your Sew should update. If they don't, it's because they are referencing the original sewn body and can't have new surfaces added for some reason. Boolean operations might be really hectic to deal with if you didn't create them in a specific manner.

RE: Replace sew
And thanks for your posts I think I wasn’t very exact
I have some A class surfaces who are linked from one part, these surfaces are involved in approximately 200 operations (trim and extend, offset, blend, etc).
What I want to do it’s to change that A surfaces with others, who are from other part and are almost identical but haven’t the same number of faces, anyway I’m not allowed to touch them (I think you had similar situation).
In your opinion how I should do this to get the best result without crashing the model and for the future how I should work with similar parts?
Thanks
RE: Replace sew
Are the original faces wave-liked into the part?

CAD should pay for itself, shouldn't it?
RE: Replace sew
However, in modeling a wheel, it's fairly straight forward and there's only about 3 different modeling methods that are typically used, so my features are kept to a minimum. When our A surfaces are revised, we typically don't have too much problem just deleting the old surfaces and reordering the new but we're not working with as many features as you appear to be.

RE: Replace sew
to use regions on the wave geometry linker in that way I can change anytime my regions ?
Have someone other idea?
Thanks
RE: Replace sew
I have one small question for nkwheelguy : what operations do you use to extend surfaces
Thanks
RE: Replace sew
If you run into any situations where Tangency is supposed to exist between 2 surfaces/edges and when you Sew you find that Tangency doesn't exist, you can sometimes repair the Tangency by using Change Edge on this same Edit Surface toolbar.
