Splicing a Solid Part
Splicing a Solid Part
(OP)
I am trying to add .70" to the center of a most axial part. I tried to cut of the back saved it, cut off the front saved it and put both parts into an assembly with a gap of .70". I saved it as a .sldpart intending to add an extrude and combine the body into the final extended part.
However, when I save the assembly as a part the solid bodies lose some key complex surfaces and become surface bodies. Why SolidWorks, why?
Is this normal? Is there a work around? Or a better method perhaps?
This seems so simple yet I am completely stuck.
Thanks in advance

If it is, use the Move Face tool.
The Stretch tool could also be used.

Do you think that is causing it?

Thanks!

1. Revolve a solid of the internal geometry change with 'merge results' checked.
2. Create the new internal surface, then use a replace face to change from the original to the new one.

Each sketch can show the diff sizes, but the configs only use what's needed. It can get complicated to try this on a finished part. Sometimes you have to start from scratch.
