Uniting Two Bodies

Uniting Two Bodies

Uniting Two Bodies

(OP)
Hi all,

I just modeled two different bodies and in assembly I saw that it will be easier if these bodies were only one. How can I unite two bodies? Can't find that option.

Thanks

RE: Uniting Two Bodies

Insert - Combine - Unite. if searching for a specific command you can always use the Command Finder function, very helpful.

Best regards,

Michaël.

RE: Uniting Two Bodies

So you have two seperate bodies in an Assembly, correct?

Yes jerry, the combine command doesnt seem to work.

I forgot to inform, I'm using NX 8.

Thanks

Nevermind, I figured out how to do it.

Thanks to all of you.

RE: Uniting Two Bodies

How did you do it?

RE: Uniting Two Bodies

(OP)
In Assembly I set the part I wanted to unite to work part. Created a dumb body and used the interference command. After the interference body was created I selected both and asked NX to leave only the interference body between them both, leaving the body shape I wanted, then I united this new body to the one I wanted.
