Error when attempting to Unite solid bodies
Error when attempting to Unite solid bodies
(OP)
I'm having nothing but trouble while trying to accomplish a seemingly simple task. I've got few different revolved bodies created from the same sketch. They consist of a tube and a number of gussets/mounting points. I'd like these all to be one body, but I cannot get anything to unite to the tube.
At first, I thought the problem might have been related to the fact that the gussets and such were all extruded bodies and were tangent to the tube. I remade things so that they look about the same using revolved bodies, but having a face in contact doesn't seem to help anything.
I've also tried changing the sketch to include interference
between the tube and other bodies, with no success.
The error I'm getting is
"The tool and target do not form a complete intersection."

I've tried various combinations of things interence, hoping that they would help.
They haven't.
