Ifeature on Part

filippo.costantin3HZMT — Tue, 20 Oct 2020 08:39:20 GMT

Hi everyone,

I need to create an ifeature from this part, where I have an exstrusion on a face and second exstrusion on the other face, like the image.

front

back

When I create the ifeature, I must selected the two face. Can I create an ifeature where I select only one face to insert the ifeature?

I attached the ipt filewith the ifeature file

Thanks a lot

Here is an example, I just created a work plane that references the thickness of the part, and then created all features on the work plane. This is so I could associate the thickness of the part. I then just combined the selection geometry to only be the original placement of the feature. I imagine there are better solutions.

See the quick and dirty part attached.

hope that helps.

Thanks for your answer. I don't undestrand how do you create the ifeature without selecting the back face. If I try to create the ifeature from your extrusion I must selection two plane.

Where I wander?

Here is the ide file..."thickness" parameter is also the thickness of the part....

thaks but when I try to create the ifeature I see that:

How can I combine the two planes in only one plane?

Select the box just to the left of profile plane 1 > Right click > combine geometry > select the plane below. That should roll into a single feature.

I try to do it using the ifeature that I attached in post #1, but when I upload the ifeature it doesn't create the hole on the back of the part.

Please see attached part and ide.

I think I found the error. When I've created the ifeature I did't select the offset-plane.

But now I create the ifeature, when I create it I select the geometry in red in the picture, and when I insert the ifeature I watch the geometry in blue in the picture.
