change to surface

[cacciatorino]

for a job, I have to make an offset of a plastic printed piece (we have to make a patchwork with the cnc). This printed piece has a lot of holes, which I've sat down with surfaces created on the spot, and so far everything's fine.

When I go to create the offset, it happens that the offset is on the right side for all surfaces, except one, which is copied from the opposite side. clearly in these conditions I can not then create the solid to use as a punch to make the carrier.

I think it's a problem of defining the direction of the normal surface, but I can't find a way to change it.

use swx 2012 standard.

Hi, I try to help, do the offset of all surfaces except the one that gives you the problem, and then do the offset as well as that (in this way you can better control the direction...), after you combine all the created surfaces and continue... .
... so blindly I can tell you that, let me know. :wink:
Maybe post some pictures, I sw2011 unfortunately!

Yes, in the end I solved by stopping the "holes" after the offset, but I think that however there is the way to define the direction of a surface... .

Wait a while I did some evidence...
...anywhere when you stop the holes you use?
I for example used the command surface riempita inside this function click on the alternating face button, this is exactly what will change the normal surface and when you do the next offset function will go in the direction of all the others.... try a little....

So, I saw that in the "offset" command there is a command to change the side of the offset, but it applies it globally to all faces, so it's not okay. I have to do an offset for the only problematic face, and then sew it with the rest of the offset of the other faces made with another offset operation.

the "alternative face" command you reported doesn't solve my problem.

I throw them a lot to feeling, because sometimes it also takes that helped by big ass:... have you tried to select the edges of the hole to be held in reverse order, the type that selects them anticlockwise or time?

in case you do not have to print this answer on soft paper and keep it in the bathroom :biggrin:

in case it doesn't work print this answer on soft paper and keep it in the bathroom :biggrin:

Look, if I wasn't there... You should be invented. :biggrin::biggrin:
