how create solid from surfaces use chook?

This operation is possible from user interface, but I don't find same chook command.

pro,

 

If you are using Mastercam V9, creating a solid from surfaces can be done without a c-hook. Select the Solids/Next menu/From surfaces function to get started. It is usually a good idea to make sure you have a different color and level selected. Also you may want to check the surface model to see if it is completely closed. That way the surfaces would be replaced with a closed solid model instead of creating "sheet solids". HTH Welcome to the forum!

I need call creating a solid from surfaces use only chook not user interface.

by the way, how can I check is this sheet-solid or closed-solid?

 

PS

sorry for my english.

Hi Pro, from the main menu go to screen statistics and on the bottom left of your screen if it says open body, it means it's a sheet and solid body, a closed one.HTH!

 

P.S. Still don't get why you definitly want to use chook

Well I am thinking not a chook here but a Vb to do this I have been thinking about a Vb to take a solid bring it in on Level 1 then on Level 2 make a bounding box. After it make the bounding box it ask where to you want ot move the part in realtion to the orgin. Then it will create a wiframe of the part on Levle 3. I then want ot to do a analze of the part then do a surface rough pocket again using paramters you set up like legth acceptable, Max/min material condtions other factro to figure then do a remachine of areas again using a paramter table asa control then do a finish toolpath that it could or could not prompt you for and then you could kind of go from there. I think adding surfaces to A Vb like that would be just as easy I just have not had the time to devlope the VB to do said things.

What the function name for create solid from surface?

I think in chook is the same name as in VB.

Now I find only one way to create solid use chook function sld_import_solid. But for use this function I must create faces and edges before call.

Pro,

it is currently not possible to "stitch" surfaces together to make a solid from within a C-Hook or a VB Script.
