subtract solid into the same together. . .

[GiGa]

Having to make a refractory filling (powered as a single volume, not brick) I have to subtract various elements of the frame that create the shape of the refractory itself, in addition to the drowned zanchettes. everything is simple if it comes in the part of the refractory the axieme of the frame in which it is contained. It is more complicated to avoid a level of assembly by subtracting the encumbrance directly into the axieme that contains the refractory. an easy example to make understand what I would like to do: in a set I have a cube (the refractory) and two rounds (for example two tubes) that cross the cube. how to do the subtraction of the rounds from the cube, obviously keeping the adactivity in case of moving the rounds themselves? I'm losing myself in a cabbage or can't you just do it?

Well, as long as you activate the modified cube, cover the pipe surfaces leaving them associative, then do the work of divides part
and the game is made (magari elimini groups of esolate surfaces .. like the inside of the tube etc. ).

Thanks for the tip... all taken to derive that in fact I was "forgotten" of the possibility to copy the bodies (more comfortable than the surfaces). so I copied all the bodies I needed to create a single body that I then subtracted... a bit uncomfortable the selection of bodies (especially if they are many), but still effective. . .

 

[eugenesis]

Are the positions of copied bodies okay??

However you can do as you say (in case of more complex processing), compose the axieme, in your case bind the pipes in the cube in the correct way, after ché you create a new ipt. click on drift part, and select the axieme from you previously created, here impose the parts of the tubes as subtract parts, and inventor creates your derivative part.

ok... as said, it is uncomfortable only the selection as it works on a single body level, not on a whole part (at least I couldn't select a whole part in one shot)

but so to insert the new part (the final one with the pipe passages) I have to create a new set formed from the first assembly and the new part, otherwise it goes in cyclic redundancy (unless to delete the connection). .

Could you explain step by step how you did and what controls? Thank you.

once you place the part in the axieme, just enter (remaining in the axieme) and use the command "copy object" specifying how to insert it (if only by reference is enough as surface, if for use with boolean then as solid single or compound).

 

[MauroM]

How do you do that?

 

[MauroM]

if at a volume I subtract a tube (not full) I can only remove the thickness of the tube itselfWhere am I wrong?

 

[GiGa]

rightly, by doing the boolean, it removes only the actual volumes... or close the solid (tube) before subtraction or terms working on extrusions, loft, sweep, etc...

 

[eugenesis]

no, after do "elimina face" setting the second icon at the top right in the command and select all the "loop"
of the volume left from the inside of the tube!!

 

[MauroM]

You're right. Thank you.
