this would help.... weird not to be able to order them easily

You can definetely create high accuracy surfeaces with catia, but you need to use the quick surface recognition, workbench, the freestyle workbench and the Digitized shape editor workbench. With those workbenches, you can crate meshes, optimize them, generate sections from scans or meshes, and...

Is there any possibility of confusion for the path that the fillet has to follow??? if so, you might have to select the edges you want to keep. It happend to me sometimes when i want to create a fillet over an edge that in a point is tangent to two other edges and the software doesn't know...

You shoud use the DSE and quick surface reconstruction workbenches to create lines, 3d splines sections and surfaces out of the pointclouds, and then use those surfaces to replace faces of the solid were needed. TO import the point cloud you should do it from the DSE workbench as a ASCII file...

Do you mean a cloud of points?

I agree with you both, but I find that healing is a great tool, which other softwares don't have that. With Catia, you realize the poor quality of other softwares, and without the healing assistant or the healing tool it would be a nightmare to recover external data

Thanks Fernando that sounds a good solution, I'll try it tomorrow Regards

That macro you are linking is for creating pdf's isn't it... How do I convert it into a cgr coverter?

Hi Ferdo Actually I really like it, but is frustrating not being able to use the geometry, or to treat the pipes as standard parts. I did the save products linked with cache and its perfect, but for the pipes, so I'll do what you say afterwards to get the pipes as cgr. The pitty is that I'm...

hi configurator! I have about 60 products and hundreds of parts, it would be a nightmare to put them all in a new product, keeping the product structure. Itsmyjob, thanks it works for everything but the pipes that do not come as cgr, i don't know why. they come as runs, as they were in the...

itsmyjob How you do that of save as frozen? I cannot find it Ferdo, thanx, but I have an added problem, when saving as step the pipes are not exported and my product is full of them, the only way is cgr, but I need the product structure

Hi all, From a large Product I have, I would like to create the same product with the same product structure but made out cgr files, (lighter and with no history) so that i can send it out to clients etc. Is that possible in a easy way? If I'm not wrong, that is what I have when working in...

Hi ferdo That complicates it alot dont you think so? I have hundreds of pipes now... would be a nightmare

I cant get to the centerline either to create an intersection point

I'll give it a try.. lets see what I find. But its a bit strange not to be able to extract geometry from the pipes!!!!
