Issues with Catia V5R20 help file RemovedMulti-Sections.CATPart

Issues with Catia V5R20 help file RemovedMulti-Sections.CATPart

(OP)
Hello, my friends

I'm having some problems with this part example from V5R20 (RemovedMulti-Sections.CATPart). Apparently it is not possible to create a Removed Multi-Section in this part. From other tutorials I've found in the web, one way to minimize any problems right from the start is to put the arrows on all the closing points pointing to the same directio. This is not working here.
In my understanding, the problem is caused by the closong points, which are on opposite sides. Can I change them from one side to the other?

Thank you

Hello rbarata,

Yes, the problem is caused by the closing point (which gives the Update Error: ... The extrusion of a vertex of the profile leads to a cusp. ...), and yes, you can change the closing point by right-clicking on the text "Closing Point_" and selecting Replace. After you do that you can select a point or a vertex of your choosing.

Hope this helped,
Best of luck!

Many thanks, Tibix

It worked. One more question...I noticed tha the closing points are created automatically but something tells me that the criteria followed by CATIA has something to do wit the way how I construct the sketch. Is this true? And, if so, how can I "force", in sketch design, the closing point to be located in a determined location?

RE: Issues with Catia V5R20 help file RemovedMulti-Sections.CATPart

Glad I could help rbarata,

Well, I am sure that CATIA has a built-in algorithm which chooses the closing point, but I have no idea how that can be enforced when creating the sketch (sometimes CATIA gets it right but most of the times... not).
