How to Subtract Part B from Part A to form Part C, the space between them.
How to Subtract Part B from Part A to form Part C, the space between them.
(OP)
Simple question for you smart boys here. If one wants to subtract part/feature B from a larger feature / part A, how does one generate part C, which consists of the space, or "air" between both parts / features? I know how to use the Combine/Subtract to create a mold, but I want a new part consisting of only the space in between them.
Thanks for you help in advance. ~Tina

Can you post the assembly (complete with parts) or at least an image or two?

I hope this is clear. Assembly attached below. Thanks. ~Tina

Another method would be to save the assy as a part (or insert parts A & B into a new part), and then use the normal Combine or Intersect tools for a multi-body part.
