sewing extruded solid with a swept edge
sewing extruded solid with a swept edge
(OP)
I attached a prt file. This is a simple exercise that I don't understand.
I have an extruded semi-circle to which I added a nice bridge curve contour by a sweep function. At this point I unsew one face of the solid, then sew it all back up but there is always a surface in the middle of the part.
Thanks.

What's the issue with having that sheet?

The sheet that was created from the unswew is relaxing with it's feet up inside the body...see the attached file. How do I get it to take a hike so the inside of the part is clean if I were to do some subtractive modeling?

It appears just deleting the body worked nicely.

If you wish to copy a face for other purposes, the command name is "Extract Geometry".
Why don't you include the vertical edge of the extrude such that you have a closed section to sweep, (+ Preserve Shape to keep the logical face division.)
See attached.
- Bridge Curve4 is suppressed since it's not used. delete ?
