Greetings,
I am a tech illustrator taking our engineering models and creating dumb solids for architects to drop into CAD drawings. When I take an assembly and try to shrinkwrap it (with the Solid Bodies option) the file still has all the internal ribs and fillets and stand-outs. I have created extrudes to fill gaps and holes and even tried to create single pieces to assemble later to no avail. What am I doing wrong. thank you for your input
it looks like you have only closed the part with your extrude, and the details inside is still there as they should be from your action. if you only need a picture you can just change the visual style to shaded. if you need the dumb solid, you can use extrude to and select the inside faces to close the part. another method is to use sculpt and select the inside faces and the work plane you have. all surfaces must intersect and form a closed volume completely for this to work. if you try this, hover over sculpt and press F1.
thanks for the input-I will try the sculpt method.
I was under the assumption that if I created a watertight object-it would consume everything inside. I even created a shoe box (two pieces) as an example and shrinkwrapped it. That came out as a solid (when you slice it-it was filled). I just want the same for my IPT.
Ah, I thought you did the extrude instead of shrinkwrapping. If you shrinkwrap, and its watertight, you should be getting what you want. Maybe you could upload the part?
