There have been multiple threads that demonstrate that the loft feature is ignoring the Solid option, and in fact the dialogue box under settings is greyed out and not available. I've been trying to do the same thing this week with no luck from any possible strategy.
Attached is a screen shot of the settings option that is unavailable to generate solid. You can see the chamber in the background that I've been trying to fill multiple ways, with no success, for a fluid modeling application.
Has this issue been fixed by now, and if not, what are my options? Thank you!
Solved! Go to Solution.
It was drawn in ISOMETRIC mode, the shape is actually a rectangle in PLAN view and the vertices are overlapping so you can't LOFT.
You are saying that it should have been drawing differently, and if so, then how? I see what you are saying, but I didn't realize that you could not loft to the same shape, that it had to be generated via 'non-overlapping shapes.
How then, at this point, to make it solid? Sweep doesn't work either. Can I make it loft the other direction then, with some modifications?
Thanks -
Was pulled for a meeting. Can you please explain what you mean by "drawing correctly in World UCS"? I tried to copy the same form after changing to World UCS. That just lofted again. Why does this not work?
It would be a miracle this shape can be constructed in the field, all surfaces and no thickness.
It's already built! So how did you do this?
We're just modeling it now to troubleshoot grit settling at low flows on the side of the chamber opposite the exit pipe. The two channels replaced old brick sewers to work around existing conditions, in changes to I-95 passing through Philadelphia. We'll probably be removing some depth at that corner to mitigate the problem.
Thanks a million however.
