Does anybody know what the Area and TNG INT parameter does on a Surf2 CRV-CRV?
It's really buging me as i can't work out why anybody would use then as i get really strange resutls from messing with them, but it must just be me using them wrong.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am doing a component which has several surface features that need mirroring. Is there anyway I can select the required surfaces and mirror them. I have search hi and low and not found anything.
Thanks,

Hi, I have a Gigabyte GA-8I848P motherboard with 2 IDE hard disks. One of the disks has just died so I thought I'd get a SATA disk to use a primary and keep the remaining good IDE disk for data storage.
Does anybody know if this is possible to do (Run SATA and IDE together), are there any...
All, I'm having to do lots more surfacing work latley, and since it was over 4 years ago I did the surfacing course I've forgot most of it, apart from the things I regularly do. Can anybody share some good tips / know some good sites to look at.

In Catia V4 under Curve 2 Connect, what exactley does it mean when you highlight the crosshairs at the ends of the connecting curve. I was told that it made it tangential, but not highlighting the cross it's still tengential. Any Idea's?
I know this has been asked loads of times before but.
We are currently looking at installing C3P-NG (Ford licensed Catia V5). We are currently running a Sun blade 1500 with 1Ghz processor and XVR-600 graphics card. Our catia supplier has suggested changing this to a windows PC and just to use...
Hi,
I am currently trying to print out a monster of a file in V4 (Honda Environment). The drawing is made up of 7 passive models, with the views generated from Auxview1. When I try to print out the drawing the passive models don't appear on the print.
Any Ideas;
Thanks Darren
Hi All,
I've been asked to produce a large pictorial BOM for the several components, most of these are surface models, some are solid. The total file size for the 3d data is 470Mb. Does anyone know the best practice for producing a drawing of this size. My thoughts were to open the files in...
Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a command like "keep" on Catia V4 to remove any unused geometry.
I have created a model, in No Show are loads of construction elements, most of which are no longer requierd by final part. I want to delete everything that I no longer require to get end the end...
Hi,
I'm currently modelling some split lines on a plastic component. When I do the reflect line on the solid I get lines that I require but have two problems:
1. I Get loads of lines that I don't need with the reflect line, how do I get rid of the bits I don't want and keep the bits I need...
Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a material side option on surfaces (like in idea's) which allows you to put recesses into a surface in one move, triming the main surface back automatically (IE a drop the surface down locally for a screw boss by offsetting it down at diamter 30mm). Pleae...
Dear All,
I wonder if anyone can help me. I'm trying to produce a surface model of a plastic component with draft. I want to extract a closed profile with 5 degrees draft. The only way I can think to do this, is to do a surface extract, then close to a solid and then draft the solid. Then I...
Hi,
I've been using catia V4 and V5 simultaniously now for about 4 years. I think V4 is far ahead of V5 in functionality and overal ease of use for modelling. The only people I've come across that say V5 is better than V4 is V5 salesmen.
Please let me know if you agree or disagree.
Thanks...
