NX 7.5 Extrude Solid Bodies From One section
NX 7.5 Extrude Solid Bodies From One section
(OP)
We are coming over from I-Deas. I think this is how the nx software works but I was hoping maybe for a switch or option I have not found.
Is there a way to Extrude in NX two sections that do not touch and make them into one solid body?
In I-Deas we were able to Extrude two different sections that did not touch and the end result would be one part.
Please see pics.

In I-Deas we would still have one part with out any errors and or model crashes. The gaps would just be gaps until we would fill it in later with different geometry.
I guess we are working on a die cast housing in different sections at a time.
I get what you are saying though. To make a solid part the surfaces should intersect and be one body. Makes sense. We are just used to be able to model a different way in I-Deas.
I like the NX approach and got used to the solid body way of doing things. I am still able to model the inside of the casting and the outside of the casting. Then cut the inside from the outside.
Thanks for the feedback.
