Missing curves on Revolved Solid - still solid.
Missing curves on Revolved Solid - still solid.
(OP)
NX6.0.1.5
Created a Revolved Solid from basic curves and splines (yes I should use sketches...). I jumped around from project to project and when I reopened the file, the solid is intact but some of the curves are missing. The Revolve operation shows only the existing curves yet the full solid is created. All layers are turned, show all, etc... This is a new one for me.

Yes. Why did it still create a solid (really not sure)
I think the fact the solid is still there without the curves tells me the system did the deleting (hiding) of curves.
mmauldin, Tried that. Not there either...

In general what may be presenting as a curve display error of sorts is extremely rare.
The only other thing that I can think of is that open ended revolved will infer the end closures to create a solid. In your case though from the image what you are pointing out doesn't appear to relate to that. I just wonder if the bosses on either end have been created from separate extrusion features that appear after the revolve?

Linked file is missing_curves.prt
As you'll see, it's a simple revolve with some extrudes done after. I'm thinking it's something simple I'm missing...
Thanks

They are all there. Right Click -> Replace View -> TFR-TRI and you will see all of them. It is a visible in view setting I think.

I don't have access to the tools which could determine that, but I'm going to forward this file to someone who might. I'll let you know what I learn.

"They are all there. Right Click -> Replace View -> TFR-TRI and you will see all of them. It is a visible in view setting I think."
Hey, there they are. That said, I've been using UG since v14. I still don't get visible in view (us NC programmers are hacks at times). I must have "replaced" a view during curve creation? I get them all to show in TFR-TRI but how do I get them to show in all views? I switch to TOP then tried visible in view then selected all layers but only see those missing curves in TFR-TRI. Then tried reset to Global with same results...
John,
I know my life can sometimes be in a condemned state but...curves??? <g> Still not sure how it all happened.

Yes your correct about the view-dependent issue. Appreciate the feedback.

RE: Missing curves on Revolved Solid - still solid.
Have you tried going to Drafting, turning OFF the drawing so that you see what is in Modeling, then using the View Dependent Edit icon to convert dependency to Model dependent? Try it while the view that shows all the curves is the current view in Modeling.
If nothing is selectable, then they are probably in a stuck state similar to what John described above.

Some people are like slinkies....they don't really have a purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.
RE: Missing curves on Revolved Solid - still solid.
I tried that and I was NOT able to convert them back to model-dependent, which is why I suspect that there are some issues with these curves which goes beyond simply being 'view dependent'. I'll post what I learn when I get some answers.

These grip programs were part of the UG grip library some years back but if you don't have a copy I guess they're in the public domain and I could post the executable here.
