I just want to let you know I finally got it to work. The way I did was by creating a duplicate shutoff surface (like the shutoff tool does) I was able to do this by using the offset surface command and setting the distance to zero. When you do it this way it isn't as much of a Hack as it is...
I still can't get this thing to work, it is probably something very simple. I'm pretty sure my hand made shutoff surface is geometrically O.K. because I could knit all of the surfaces together. But when I drag it into the cavity folder and then try to do a tooling split it doesn't it says that...
I have the parting line, split surface, etc..... Everything is good but the shutoff surfaces. There are a few throughout the part. Only one is giving me the problem. When I have gone to look in the mold folder with the core and cavity subfolders it looks like, when I use the "shutoff surfaces"...
Hello,
I am desigining a mold using solid works. I know that the mold tools function is supposed to make it easy but the shutoff surfaces option cannot handle the surface I need. So, I made my own shutoff surface using the surface tools. Now that I have the surfaces I can't figure out how to...
