Let me better articulate my quandry...

[Francis Farmer]

What I'm dealing with is the fact that It's like the solid is unrecognizable. I can't select it, or do anything to it or with it. I want to generate a plunge rough operation, and I can't highlight any of it. I can still snap on individual entities to create lines, etc... Is it because I translated the location of it? I didn't have any trouble prior to that.

 

Thanks,

-Francis

If it is a solid, you should have no trouble selecting it to do your roughing, even if you translated it after the import. If, on the other hand, the model is an imported STL file, you'll have some difficulties. Can you post the .MC9 file to the FTP site?

Are the solids on a different level and that level is masked?

[David S]

Make sure:

 

1. Do you have SOLID feature? You may open solid file but you cannot do anything about it if you do not have solid feature, which is option.

 

2.Did you select SOLID when you generating your operation? SOLID has its own selection menu.

Francis - Better to have added this to your original message thread. Once the two messages get further apart in the topics list, no one will have any clue what you are referring to. Something for next time.

Thanks for getting me pointed in the right direction guys. I may not have been selecting solids when trying to execute the operation, but I had my mask set as I'd been drawing some additional construction lines. I put everything back to the original level and everything works great.

 

Take Care Fellas,
