Extract Region in NX7
Extract Region in NX7
(OP)
Just started on NX7 after 4 years on NX3. When attempting to Extract Region, after selecting my seed and boundry faces with "Traverse Interior Edges"and "Hide Original" selected, when I 'ok' the operation it leaves me with nothing more than my seed face. What could I be doing wrong? I've never had this issue in NX3. Is there a setting that needs to be changed? Thanks in advance.

Try this...
Add a Boss feature to the top of the block and then a small Blend around the top edge of the Boss. Now perform the Extract Region selecting any of one of the 3 faces which makes up the Boss as the 'seed face' and then select the faces around the sides of the Block as the 'boundary' and then hit OK.

In the simple block example if you pick one face for the seed and the opposite face for the boundary, you should end up with 5 faces in the extract region.
Perhaps the 'Use tangent edge angle' option was checked by mistake? If you turn that on with the default 45 degree value and run my simple example you will end up with only the seed face instead of the 5 faces.
