I cant create a region from an exploded region

Anonymous — Thu, 26 Apr 2018 08:15:16 GMT

In my drawing I have a solid object. it was earlier created from a 2-d shape using region and extrude commands.

Now I want to edit it so I exploded it and separated the surface and exploded it again. Immediately after exploding, I cant create a region of it again. It says they are not on the same plane ( coplanar)! how is that possible and how can I resolve it?

Is it a bug or I am missing some knowledge?

I tried flatten command and it solves the problem but I am concerned that flattening make minor changes in my drawings. besides I want to know the reason for this strange behavior.

Thanks

see the attached file and try it.

I must add that, I have other solids in the same drawing and I have no problem exploding them and create the same region again. The issue is related to this specific solid that I attached in my previous post.

After converting each closed contour to a closed pline the regions can be created successfully.

Demonstrates that to convert lines of double exploded solids back to regions, you need to use a window, not a pick selection and cannot select out of plane elements together. Screencast has no audio. If you use pick, the lines selected in combination might have different extrusion vectors.

Thanks j.palmeL29YX and dbroad. Your hints were very helpful and saved me plenty of time.
