    Deleting duplicate lines

    Hi all, I hope everyone is enjoying Easter! Is there an automatic way to delete duplicate lines/curves from an NX part? I've extracted curves from a tessellation of polyhedra (that I can't change to prevent duplicate lines in the first place) to sweep tubes across. Of course, each edge of a...

    Automating a trimming operation

    Hello, First let me say this is just a 'tentative' question, a 'how possible is this...' sort of question! I'm currently using NX 6.0. I have a set of polyhedra that tessellate in 3D space that I would like to trim to a set of surfaces (or intersect with a solid). It looks like to do this...

    Crashing while attempting to apply lighting

    Hello, I'm trying to render a model in NX 5.0.5.3. While attempting to add shadows to the spotlight in advanced lighting, NX crashes with "Internal error: memory access violation" Granted this is a little vague, but any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

    Uniting a very large array of cylinders

    Hello, So, I've got a huge array of cylinders positioned in a 3D structure (Think 3D spider's web). I'm fairly confident that each cylinder touches its neighbours and so if I were to manually perform a series of Unions then I would get a single solid body out of it at the end. That would take...

    Snapping to 25%, 33%, ##% of a line's length

    Hello, another question! Is it possible (through snap points or expressions) to draw a line that is a specified percentage of another line's length? I don't want to reference a specific line, but say, the line that is currently selected. I am making a UDF that is based on the selection of a...

    Rendering with a transparent background

    Hello, I've looked through CAST, so I'm guessing this is unlikely, but is it possible to render a scene in NX with a transparent background? I'd like to render a part in NX and import it into Photoshop where I can insert my own backgrounds. I'm already aware of the ability to insert background...

    Attaching a law helix to a straight curve

    Hello, I've been trying to create a law helix that follows a straight line as its centre point. I create a spline from three points referenced from the straight line and generate the law helix from that. When I change or move the original straight line curve in some way, the law helix remains...

    Creating a solid structure from a wireframe model

    Hello, I'm using NX5.0.2, largely working on creating structures of struts. My work naturally includes working with wireframe representations of these structures (either created in an external programme or with NX's own sketch/3D curve functions). Is it possible to create a single, solid body...
