Return Flange Issue
Return Flange Issue
(OP)
Greetings,
Find attached a simple NX model of a cube with two sketches that I created to extrude tools and remove material fromt the cube. At their intersection, I want to create a flange. I've extruded the intersect to create a sheet and then thickened. When I try to unite with the main block, I get an error message due to a very small mismatch between the main block and the thickened flange. I'm not sure why. Any advice? I don't have any sheet metal packages with the NX 7.5 system I am using.

They will unite......then delete the smaller, funny looking flange face to clean up the model.

To the Toolmaker, your nice little cartoon drawing of your glass looks cool, but your solid model sucks. Do you want me to fix it, or are you going to take all week to get it back to me so I can get some work done?

I tend to avoid thicken features where possible, the "optionB" file shows an alternative construction.
