Making a cavity into a solid
Making a cavity into a solid
(OP)
I'm running ST2 in traditional mode. I have a supplied part with some complex cavities in it. I would like to make the "core" for these cavities. Typically I would use boolean operation but due to the thin wall and complex shape of the part this doesn't work. I would think there is a way to cap the ends and fill the void but I can't figure it out. Is there an easy way to do this?





RE: Making a cavity into a solid
You could try an Inter-Part copy rather than a part copy and just copy in the internal surfaces. Then you would need to stitch these surfaces together to form a solid.

Make an assembly of your part then add the cavity part.
Edit-in-place the cavity part and then the inter-part-copy should be available.
Could you post an image of the part?
