NX10 Unable to create body

NX10 Unable to create body

NX10 Unable to create body

(OP)
Trying to create a keyway using sketch 5 but whenever I select the face it says Unable to create body - change the section. Anyone have a solution?

RE: NX10 Unable to create body

Can you create the key shape and do a boolean subtract?

RE: NX10 Unable to create body

Something wrong in the inputs.
Try with different inputs.

RE: NX10 Unable to create body

In the image above, it seems that you are trying to extrude either two arcs or a cylindrical face almost normal to the viewing direction.
- See the highlighted arcs inside the shaft. These will not cut a keyway.

I think that you have selected something different than what you thought.
- Try again.


Regards,
Tomas

Thanks,
I selected the the face by accident instead of the sketch I made.
