Boundary patch the ends and Sculpt - New Solid.

Attach your file here if you can't figure it out.

I'm trying to invert a solid as well. Trying to construct a form for a clay model...

Could you better describe how to invert the solids? I need to construct a relief of a model I built and am having trouble understanding your response.

Hi architect97 ,


Attached is real quick example file (created in Inventor 2015). It uses a multi-body approach, creating one body and subtracting it from another to create the void. You can use the End Of Part marker in he browser to see how this was done.

 

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
Curtis
