Trouble shooting PATCH for Lofted Surface Body

rodY8GH3 — Wed, 05 Apr 2023 21:20:21 GMT

Hoping for some suggestions on what to look for to alleviate patch function not wanting to give me the "OK" prompt in the window. All boundary edges are connected and on same plane. I've tried different combo's in the patch window and no go. I've finished "sketch".

What else should I try/look for that might fix the issue?

Please don't ask to post the model, Its a product I don't want to reveal as of yet so just basic troubleshooting ideas would be get me started.

Thanks for looking.

Here is an idea - make up a dummy file that exhibits the same behavior as your proprietary data.

That is about as basic as it gets in the sciences.

CAD whisperer,

Thanks for the response. Thats what I've done, used a separate file based on the same body and just can't get it to take a patch. Worked on two ends but not the bottom.

So can you share a dummy?

Now simply Attach your dummy file here that exhibits the same behavior without revealing any proprietary information.

When I try to stitch the two surface bodies together (with highlight window) I get red all the way around the border between the two bodies, also one body won't highlight to combine with the other. What might cause this? Look for something in history?

Maybe there is a gap between the surfaces.

Without a model to examine no real help can be provided.
