Getting nowhere with boundary fill

[Anonymous]

Hello friendly helpers,

I am trying to evaluate the internal volume of a loudspeaker, taking internal bracing, drivers, baffle cuts and other accessories onto consideration.

You can see the loudspeaker in the screencast.

All the parts are rigid joined.

I am trying to use boundary fill, but no clear cell appears to me. I always end up with a tiny bit (usually a screw!) turned into a new body.

I've tried adding offset planes around my panels, with the same result.

So, clearly, I am doing something wrong, missing something, using the wrong tool...

I am no Fusion god. I have started using it 7 months ago and I am self-taught.

Many thanks in advance for any help!

Nico

If you are looking for the internal volume of air space, the internal structures will be dividing it up into small zones, it’s not clear if there is one body of air or many, being divided up by panels or fittings.

You may find it, by hiding all internal structures, filling the cabinet, and then Combine cutting the structures and fittings out of it, but that is likely to be hit and miss as well.

Might help...

OK, the simplification leads to a few more steps, but it's leading to the result I am seeking, so.... woohoo!

Many thanks!
