Quick question

Hi all,

 

I'm having troubles finding a way to make parts seperate bodies. I started off making a shape, then i shelled it. I then went on to make ribs in the middle of it, however i want to ribs to be a seperate solid. (solid 3 i want this to be the main outshell, then i want the ribs, which are currently also solid 3, to be a new solid)

Is there any easy way around this? or am i going to have to use another way and not use the rib feature?

Hi,

 

Rib command doesn't have the new solid option. You may consider to cut after, or creating the rib in onother way that permits you to create a new solid.

Hi!

 

Before create ribs, copy the surfaces and build a boundary to separate the main body from the ribs (you will build later).

Build the Ribs

Use "Split Solids" to split the ribs from the main body using the previous surface as boundary.

Thank you very much for the quick responses!

 

In the end i copied the outer shell like you said and then created the ribs and split it away from the solid.

 

Thanks again!
