emptying from other solid

[Iena]

Good morning, everyone.
I read every day your discussions always interesting.
It's just that I've been from autocad to inventor and I'm starting to use it these days. Unfortunately I have not followed a thorough course, I am a self-taught and I need your help.
I've created a big melt in which I have to insert some emptying for small boxes.
I created aside the soul of emptying (i.e. the negative), but I can't put it in my .ipt, or better I insert it using the drift, but I can't place it where I want it.
my goal and then use merge solids in size mode.
Am I following the right path? If so you tell me how to place my solid "negative"? Is there any other alternative?
Thank you.

hi, try to create a set (.iam) . Hit the soul as part and place them using the constraints (see possibly the tutorial with f1).
then open the main fusion (double click on component in the left tree).
object copy selection, then click on the soul component always in the left tree.
get a copy of the soul placed correctly in the main object.
from here you have to see to use the command sculpt... My eye, sometimes it sucks.
Alternatively, you'll get the surfaces you need and then use the un-superficent command.
If all are ok and combing, get the solid.
often I use construction for revolution and extrusions according to necessity (mozzi cpp navali)
Bye!

Thank you so much!! !
I didn't use "colpisci", but "unisci" in cutting mode, but I got there thanks to your advice to copy in a set, gazie still:finger:

do a fictitious set where positions first, e.g. the box then insert the soul and the position at the desired point with the necessary constraints.(You can also do the opposite, nothing changes)
Shut up.
open a new file where you close and immediately delete the default inziale sketch.
You find yourself with an empty space, okay?
at this point with the "derive component" command enter your fictitious set above.
in the dialog box will ask you if you want to insert the two parts of the aid, or you want one to be removed from the other (your case) or even if you want a solid intersection between the two.
That's it.
In this way if you want to change the excavation, open the soul file, move that and save; then return to the ipt file where you entered the derived and updated axieme.
a tip:don't cancel the fictitious axieme if you want to continue making subtraction changes.
It seems a little complicated, but it's easier to do than say.

some remarks:
So doing my empty piece is an iam instead of an ipt, so if I have to do more work, not all the controls are available in the environment together, e.g. solid creation (extrusion, revolution, etc.), so I have to change it, which is not the maximum comfort.
Moreover, the subtracted component remains present in the axieme, you can put it not visible, but as the mass remains and false the weight of the component; you can then suppress it, but it adds a new level of detail.

Hey, thanks for the surgery.
in fact it is more difficult to say than to get:smile:
I noticed however that, in the derived part, I present both solids in the browser, but if I want to change not the amina but the main part (always from the browser) I can not. do I have cmq go to the original ipt file?

What do you mean, "I can't change from the browser? "
If you're talking about modifying previous derivatives, you can't, because the derivation doesn't report the workings of the components; so in the browser you find nothing about it.
for the rest, you are in part environment, so you can make the changes and additions you want,except for those related to the interaction of the two solids (size and form emptying, position of the one regarding the other etc.); for these yes, you must open the two files of origin, or intervene on the fictitious axieme.
