bevels fittings and symmetries on multibody

[cacciatorino]

I have a solid multibody.

I can't select edges belonging to different leotards to collect/smuste more edges with only one command.

Similarly if I try to reflect an existing cut feature on a body, such that the copy goes to cut another body, the processing fails.

Am I doing something wrong or does the cad not allow these jobs?

Of course I can't.
a function must have its own scope and two different areas (read two different bodies) is not a allowed operation.
it is enough to combine the two bodies with an extruded "spillo" even of a few cents (to be eliminated if it is not incorporated by later features) and the function succeeds.
I used it successfully by joining a three-cylinder pin, obtained with only one extrusion function from three circles, through fittings that created a unique body.
I had to make that connection so that the body was "one", through the pin.

was to assign only one variable to many features, so that I just change a quota to change all bevels/collections.

I'll try to remember your workaround, but one thing: if you try to regenerate the model after deleting the pin, what happens? and the bevels still remain connected, in the sense that with a single click change the size of all?

In some cases I prefer to give a variable value.

Sure. the elimination of the pin, it mimics an extruded cutting function or even removal of surfaces (depending on what it is used) again creates the multibody after the functions that were made when the bodies were united.

If you change the share of a bevel the roll-up will go to when the bodies were united and when finished with the reconstruction you will return to eliminate the pin.
p.s.: I call it "spillo", but it would be more correct to call it "bridge".

the workaround is such because the kernel does not support multiple bodies in the same function (unless it explicitly predicts them with commands as it matches). It seems to me that if (or other kernels) it did not have this limit.

If you don't know the concept of multibody so the problem doesn't already arise from the beginning! :biggrin:

Ah, here... I remembered the opposite... as usual!!!:finger:
That sounds like bearing history, right?

Well, that's simple. You can connect all the same bevel/agreement odds. or "equazionarle"... but in this case it is definitely better the first, so you can change them indifferently from one or another (with equations published only by the "father rate"). and all you add to the properties.
