Extruded Cut from a Curved Surface Failing
Extruded Cut from a Curved Surface Failing
(OP)
Hi guys, I made the bottom of my part curve very slightly using the Flex feature, but now I am unable to Cut Extrude from it.
Basically I want to make a cut 1mm offset from the edge on the bottom face, 1mm deep. So it forms a lip around the bottom.
Selecting the curved face as my "Surface/Face/Plane" gives me an "Unable to create this extruded feature due to geometric conditions" error.
Not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help is appreciated!

You always need to select flat surfaces since this is where the sketch is build on.

Move your flex feature to after Fillet2
Then drag the bottom bar of your feature tree up above the new flex feature location
Now create your cut-extrude, before your flex feature.
The only issue I had was the depth of the cut, could not go 1mm like you had it, it cuts completely through the boss extrude and causes the loft to crash.
