Trim/Unite/Subtract question

Trim/Unite/Subtract question

RE: Trim/Unite/Subtract question

Welcome to the forum - from now on, please include the version of NX you're using, as you may not be able to perform some tasks in older versions that you can in newer versions.

Why not Extrude whole the section you want rather than make them in 2 separate features and then trim them down? Is it necessary to do this in 2 steps? I've attached an example just using curves (no Sketches), but you can easily create a Sketch with the correct profile. See layer 1.

If you absolutely MUST do it in 2 steps, then look at the solid on layer 10. 2 sides can be trimmed using the Extude command, the other uses Trim Body using 2 planes of the base. Play around with commands and see what happens when you change the Trim direction.

There's more than 1 way to skin this cat....

RE: Trim/Unite/Subtract question

and you can use replace face in your current model to put the end faces where you want them. In other words you would pick the one end face that you want to stay as is and the other end face to move to that one.

RE: Trim/Unite/Subtract question

I think the attached file is more what you are looking for.
You need to step thru the model feature by feature to see how I did it. The two extrudes are united at the creation of the second extrude.
I used replace face (in syncronous modeling) to do the rest. You can swap out the end faces if the replaced face should have been to the other one.
Don't hesitate to ask more questions if you need to.
