Change edge - Unable to change edge
Change edge - Unable to change edge
(OP)
Greetings all!
So far I haven't been able to make "Change edge" command work. Whatever choices I make, it's always "Unable to change edge" in the end. I'm quite puzzled. Could please somebody show me the light?

NX8.5
Overally, I'm interested to know how can I fix the tangency of two sheet bodies. I think Change Edge is the command I need. Am I right? Any other options?

And second, I would look at using something like...
Edit -> Surface -> Match Edge...
...for something like you've described. Primarily this is because 'Change Edge' is an older, 'legacy' function which is being replaced by functions like the aforementioned 'Match Edge, a newer function with a modern interface.

I'm not that proficient yet with the concept of a trimmed surface... although I have an idea of what you are talking about. If I need to match the sheets as I described, but they are trimmed, what can be done there?
RE: Change edge - Unable to change edge
Insert -> Trim -> Untrim...
Note that this will NOT remove your original surface but rather will simply create an 'Untrim' feature which will be a child of your original surface so it will still be there if needed. There is however, an option to automatically hide the original surface so as to not confuse anyone.

Once again, I'm not that good and this UV business yet. Does it means that only a rectangular-bounded surface is being untrimmed?

RE: Change edge - Unable to change edge
Is this approach applicable to the most cases? Will newly created surface be always untrimmed? Or does it depend on a particular shape?
RE: Change edge - Unable to change edge
As to whether my approach of using Surface Thru-Curve Mesh will work in most cases, well that depends. If the surface is already basically rectangular and the shape pretty well matches the four edges, like was the case with your example, then yes, it's work in many cases. However, if there are extreme changes in shape or other 'features' not consistent with the edges then you you may have to create some cutting planes and create intermediate interior curves representing these areas of more complex shape before you could use something like Surface Thru-Curve Mesh.
