Unigraphics Boolean Operations

Unigraphics Boolean Operations

Unigraphics Boolean Operations

(OP)
Is there any way I can use the subtract function with a multi profile extrude with another feature with multi profiles in its sketch? I have been a catia V5 user and recently switching to UG. I am trying to see if I can do this operation in one step instead of doing it in several steps.

RE: Unigraphics Boolean Operations

so are these all solid bodies that you are working with, or sheet bodies (aka surfaces), or both ?

RE: Unigraphics Boolean Operations

(OP)
It is solid. Since the sketches have two different profiles , UG is not letting me to do it in one shot ( extrude with the subtract option) .I was wondering if there is a way to do it in one operation. Thanks for your response.

What version of NX are you running?

RE: Unigraphics Boolean Operations

Even though you can extrude a multi-loop sketch and the result is a single 'Feature', Boolean operations can only be applied to Bodies. And since you can only have a SINGLE 'Target' body for each Boolean operation, in your scenario you will need to perform multiple Boolean operations.
