Error splitting solids with surfaces

Error splitting solids with surfaces

Error splitting solids with surfaces

(OP)
I keep getting the error 'a skin does not cut right across one of the volume'.  My surface is good and it should do the split easily.

Anybody have the same problem.

RE: Error splitting solids with surfaces

I recently had a similar problem:

1. make sure your surface extends all the way through the solid being cut

2. check to make sure your surface has no gaps

cheers for the advice but all my surfaces are good.  I think it may be a problem with the surface as its a fuselage skin.  Thanks for replying anyway

RE: Error splitting solids with surfaces

Pop,

If the fuselage skin is a complete 360 revolution, check to see if the starting/ending edge of the skin is in the middle of your solid.

In my situation, we split the skin into an upper and lower sections, and that seemed to make a difference.
