Rebuild Error.. (Simple Question)

[cp3]

If you take a look at the jpeg, you can see what Im trying to do. Im trying to use the "Revolved Boss/Base" feature command to create this part. But I keep getting a Rebuild Error that says "Resulting feature is too large to fit in the modeler limits. This operation will fail."

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

What version and SP of SW are you running? What are the dimensions of the profile? the software does have size restrictions of parts and assemblies, but I believe that in earlier versions it was still an obscenely large number.

I believe SW has a 1000m cube limit. If you're trying to do something on the landscape scale, you'll run into issues.

Im running 2009 Solidworks.

And the part has an overall width of just 3".

The title of the post is "Rebuild Error". That implies you've built it before, right? What have you changed? What are you revolving the sketch around? Can you post the part?

Im not sure why it calls it a rebuild error, cause I havent actually ever built the part. So I cant show you what it would look like. But Im trying to build a 2"x1.5" reducer. I dont know why Im having so much trouble with it.

Delete all the sketches and create anew. Better yet, create a new part and try again. If you have the same problem, your template may be corrupt, or maybe SW just needs restarting.

Do you have a centerline to revolve around?

I didn't see an origin or dimensions in the attached picture.
It could be that the Geometry isn't being created as it's outside the model bounds. I created a similar sketch but off in space and once it went outside the max for geometry based on origin the feature won't create. Select any vertex in your sketch and check the x,y,z location values displayed in status bar at the bottom of the screen.

From your sketch and the part you're making I'm assuming you're using the base line as revolution line and then shelling out the Solid Feature. 2008 SolidWorks and later can use centerlines from other sketches or any Axis feature parallel to sketch for a axis of revolution and only needs to be placed in sketch to create Diameter dimensions.

Probably you have line overlapping? Or one line is on the another one. It would be the best if you attach the picture of the error you get while creating the revolution body.
