fill hole in solid

just learning to fool with solids

how to fill hole for running toolpaths over

[LaszloK]

If the solid is imported, you will need to make a circle or 2D countor on the face with the hole, extrude the hole and in the extrude dialog select add boss. If it is a mastercam solid, go to the operations manager --> Solids, find the extrude cut operation that produced the hole, delete the operation or the contour for the hole in the "geometry" section if multiple holes were produced in the extrude cut. You can plug the hole in a mastercam solid the same way as and imported solid, but it is always better to modify a mc solid in the history tree. Hope this helps

Try create surface> fill holes.

 

works on most holes.

If the solid is imported, try the "Find Features" function in the solids menu. This allows Mastercam to create the operations for fillets or holes.

 

Then you can suppress the operation in the solids history tree and machine, or create a surface from that solid face and use it. Fill hole with surface works too...

That bit me.... I drew something brought it into Mastercam, started running some surface toolpaths and Gouge!
