Solids and Optiroufh

[rchipper]

Hi,

 

I am attempting to use Optirough for machining a solid model. I am getting a warning: Unable to extract (at least) one solid face.

Is there an issue with the solid or do I have parameters not set correctly. Any advice?

 

Much thanks,

rchipper

 

OOOPS! In a rush please excuse miss spelled Optiruofh.

You have a model with a bad face.

 

If you convert it to surfaces, it should show a surface that has problems.

 

You can then either use the surface model to machine or have them fix the solid model.

 

Depending on what's messed up, sometimes it's an important piece of geometry and you'll have to recreate it as a surface.

Other times it's an inside face and you can just forget about it.

 

It really depends how it relates to what you actually have to machine

I will look into that. Thank you.
