jeff1975 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I have a shelled solid that I want to fill the cavity for editing. What is the best way to go about this? Solid was created in Solidworks by our supplier and imported into Autocad as a Sat file. I enclosed the bottom and a hole on each side of the part.

ReMark Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) Sounds like a task better handled in Inventor. Interesting. Using a much simpler 3D solid model I was able to create a solid in the size/shape of a void in plain AutoCAD. Not sure if I can do it with your model though.

JD Mather Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 .... Solid was created in Solidworks by our supplier. The SolidWorks user needs training - found a lot of errors and the part was not modeled with obvious symmetry about the origin (SolidWorks 101).

ReMark Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I think I may have done it...well almost. Just half of the 3D model. It was an interesting exercise despite the errors JDM found. One half the model; then I sliced out a chunk just to make sure it was solid throughout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff1975 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 ReMark, how did you do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) I encompassed the TP holder in a cube, sliced through the two objects with a surface, eliminated the front halves of both, subtracted what remained of the TP holder from what remained of the cube then separated the two of them from each other. Or I used magic. Can't remember which it was now. Edited May 28, 2014 by ReMark correction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff1975 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Cool, I was hoping it was magic. Thanks for the input ReMark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP_ Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Another way. I've divided the gif because of the size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
