problems with VADD
problems with VADD
(OP)
Hi,
When I make a complex volume with keypoints, I do this by creating sub volumes, and use the VADD command to merge the volumes into one volume. In the help file is written that the original volumes (and their corresponding areas, lines and keypoints) will be deleted.
The problem is that the lines between the subvolumes doesn't get deleted. This lines can be seen when meshed, and when the volumes are plotted.
Does somebody know what I'm doing wrong, and why I don't get one big volume (without those lines)? Thanks in advance.
Kindest regards,
Vidiii

there is one "caveat" with what Stringmaker says: if the final volume has voids (e.g. a plate with a hole), this topology won't be recognized by the VA command. In the example, you will have to create the plate first, then the "hole" as an another volume, then subtract the "hole" from the plate...
Otherwise, if you see that the VADD volume has been created correctly, but some areas/lines remain (and you are sure you won't need them any more), you can ADELE,all then LDELE,all then KDELE,all: the areas/lines/keypoints involved in the volume won't be deleted (you will get some warning messages...), but all the "unlinked" ones will.

The problem is resolved using substract operations
