Create a solid body from negative space in drilled casting
Create a solid body from negative space in drilled casting
(OP)
Experts,
I'd like a negative image of this part, so that all the drillings are solid and all current solid geometry is invisible/ removed.
Obviously I can use extract...
Any ideas?

Build a model that resembles the exterior shape of your finished part.
Then do a subtract of your existing model from the exterior shape model.
Be careful that the resulting shape MUST be a single solid entity. You may have to do some tweaks or add runners between the inetrior cavities to tie the model together. This used to be true, as I don't know if the multi-body limitation has been changed.
