FDI Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I have a base feature with 3 extrusions off it. I want to shell 2 of the features. It will shell the first feature as well as my base but wont shell the second feature. Any ideas? regulator.ipt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 regulator_jd.ipt Is something like this what you are after? (once you have answered this question - I have some suggestions) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD Mather Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Oops, I am using 2012 while you are using 2011. But now you are changing the problem? Is this end what you were having trouble with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FDI Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 yep wasnt sure how to extend that to the flat surface. I actually want that pipe to sick up a bit but end with it enclosed where the flat surface starts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 and..... you are doing wayyyyyyyy too much work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 and your sketches aren't constrained. I recommend you read this document http://home.pct.edu/~jmather/skillsusa%20university.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FDI Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 Ok i'll try that. Should all my circle extrusions be revolved or does it depend? Still new at Inventor only been using it for about a month on and off. Thanks for the advise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 It would be fine to use Extruded Circles rather than Revolved Rectangles - I'll post my solution in a minute. But what about this - this doesn't look right to me either? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I don't usually recommend one sketch - especially for a beginner, but I was able to create all of this geometry from a single sketch (I had to guess at some of your design intent).
