How do I separate touching/overlapping parts?
How do I separate touching/overlapping parts?
(OP)
Hi, my problem is more complex than the title suggests. I have overlapping extrusions in a part model, but the extrusion that I want to cut goes through about 5 separate bodies. This means using 'Split' would take forever (over 80+ cuts in Split) and Combine doesn't work.
Is there a way to tell Solidworks (2006) to cut away a part that is touching multiple bodies (at the point where they touch)? Or create a line where it overlaps so I can extrude-cut it away?
If I'm not being clear or you don't understand please tell me.
Thanks

It sounds like you are trying to use a multi-body part as an assembly.
If it's a multi-body part, can you not just merge the bodies?

But if there was some other need for me to do what I originally wanted to, there isn't really a way to do it other than Split/Combine is there?

I can't see your pic. Please see FAQ559-1100.
