editing a solid

[metalmansteve]

I'm modeling a fixture that has 250+ holes so my solids "tree" has 250 "extrude cut"

 

I need to change the depth of these holes.

 

How do I change the depths without having to go into 250 parameters and manually changing it?

AFAIK, you gotta edit 'em the same way you created them. If you had made them using "Combine Operations" on your extrude cuts, it woulda been easier.

Thanks....I like doing things the hard way:-/

This is why when i have a lot of holes i chain one hole, extrude it, then go back into that operation and add the rest of the chains. I have never done the combine ops, I will start doing that now.

 

But you could do what I just said and remove all the extruded cuts except 1 and add the chains, this would combine them.

I like to create one "feature" and then use the "Manual Pattern" function. Doesn't really matter as long as you get what you need but the manual pattern function works quite nicely.

 

 

Hey Pete, how you doing?
