NX 10 shell not working as I expected
NX 10 shell not working as I expected
(OP)
Hi guys,
I was trying to shell this part with thickness 1 mm, however it only let me shell up to 0.6mm. I adjusted some features to make it simpler, didn't work. Does anyone know how to solve it?
Below is the part.

RE: NX 10 shell not working as I expected
As to WHY this was causing a problem, even though you were attempting to Shell only that part of the model at the 'back-end' as it were, since those Extrudes were part of the body selected and since at least a portion of the cross-section of the model in the area of the Extrudes (as a result of the Extrudes) exceeded 2.0 mm in thickness, the software tried to 'shell' that part of the model as well, but that was not possible due to the actual distance between some other faces so the overall Shell operation failed.
Anyway, just reorder Extrude(19), and the Draft features, to AFTER the Shell operation, and you should be good to go.
