Jeff, thank you for the reply, unfortunately the model is imported geometry (parasolid). I now understand why the cut is not working. Is there another I can try to cut the small nub feature to blend with the existing surface or can I only do a blind cut and then add a radius to match whats...

Hello, I have been having this issue quite a bit, I'm not sure if my technique is wrong or I am just going about it the wrong way. In the picture below I am trying to do a cut extrude to remove the small nub, however I can only 'blind cut'. If I try 'up to surface' or 'offset from surface' I...

I am fairly new at SW2003. I have ran thru a couple tutorials, but I cannot figure out how to add the "pierce constraint" so I can use a guided curve in a sweep. Since I am unable to upload a sketch of the problem, here's a brief synopsis... Ellipse - profile Line - path Spline -...
