Hi all,

I just modeled two different bodies and in assembly I saw that it will be easier if these bodies were only one. How can I unite two bodies? Can't find that option.

Thanks
 
Insert - Combine - Unite. if searching for a specific command you can always use the Command Finder function, very helpful.


Best regards,

Michaël.

So you have two seperate bodies in an Assembly, correct?
 
Yes jerry, the combine command doesnt seem to work.

I forgot to inform, I'm using NX 8.

Thanks
 
Nevermind, I figured out how to do it.

Thanks to all of you.
 
In Assembly I set the part I wanted to unite to work part. Created a dumb body and used the interference command. After the interference body was created I selected both and asked NX to leave only the interference body between them both, leaving the body shape I wanted, then I united this new body to the one I wanted.
