Another solid problem

[Jeff the haas_guy]

I have a file (solid help.mcx) in MCX directory. I need to have the solid form to be within the dia's drawn. Not sure how to do this.

 

Little help?

[Guest]

WHat kind of shape you looking for Jeff?

 

I see the single hump but what are you looking to do with it?

In the FTP ... SOLID HELP MATT B.mcx

 

edit: I was going to come back in here with the instructions BUT...

 

JUst do what Crazy said. Exactly how I did it...

If you are trying to create the radius on the inside and outside you need to create one more circle for the outside. The inside is easy but the outside is going to need one more circle to give you what you need to take away the material forthe outside curve. Do extrude both direction and cut body. One soild will be the inside cicle the 2nd soild will be the 2 circle one just bigger than the other. These will be ghose soild to just remove material but needed to do what I think you are after.

Like this?

 

 

Ron,

 

Hit it.

 

An extra circle outside for a cutting boundary and the inner one is a cutting boundary by itself sice it is closed to the center.

Jeff, are you feelin' the love here ?

 

We all sure jump on these easy ones, huh ?

[Jeff the haas_guy]

You guys are great. Unfortunatly I cant open them in the limited mc I have at home. The part is round obviously, and the form you see is in 4 places equ distance around the part.

 

I am trying to draw this in solids.

Easy for you, I had to think for 30 seconds.

 

That's a toughy

[Jeff the haas_guy]

You guys kick my butt when it comes to this stuff. I suppose if it were easy Id get bored.

A little practice and you'll be changing your name to Jeff teh Solids guru...

Once you get a feel for what works for the basic stuff, the rest comes fairly easily. The MC solids package is quite simple to use compared to others.

If you get "demo" you can do all kinds of stuff at home... ('cept save)

[Guest]

Were you able to open the one I sent you last week Jeff?

 

Yeah but Matt, with Demo you cannot opening anything that was created after the initial X release I believe.

[Jeff the haas_guy]

Yes i opened them all but it said something about having a previous version.

[Jeff the haas_guy]

John, that is exactly what I want. Now tell me, how did you do that?

[Guest]

If you go into the solids tree, you can pick the extrude operation and click on geometry, you'll see the 2 circles I picked and then I extrude cut >> through all. Then I did the same to the inner radius.

 

Isolate the outside area you want to cut away and then isolate the inside area.

 

Same lesson as last week actually except you needed to do this in two places a bounded cut outside and a bounded cut inside. You were trying to combine them into one cut.

[Jeff the haas_guy]

I appreciate all the help. Still just learning here.

Actually, I just checked that out and the Demo MR1 was able to open the file I just uploaded for Jeff. (I saved that out of MR2)
