Having trouble using patch

[rennanmesquita0]

I'm trying to add a detail on my model but when I create a new sketch it doesn't aloow me to use the front face to edit it, the only option is the back one... so I use the "include 3d geometry" option, i select the surface I want but when I try to use the "line" option to close my patch surface, the system doesnt recognize.... any ideas that I can do? the only face that I can choose for sketchingMe trying to choose the point I wanto for finishing the patch

Hi rennanmesquita0 ,

Are you trying to patch one of the holes? Please see patchhole.png

If that is the issue, please checkout the Enable chaining option on the Patch dialog. That should allow you to select the entire loop for the patch which should get all the edges of a loop if they are continuous. In this case they are continuous and I was able to do the patch with a single pick. I did delete your Boundary patch which filled only half of the hole before doing a new patch.  Please see boundarypatch.png.

You probably might be needing something else. In which case please identify the exact hole that you are trying to fill using the boundary patch.

Hi @rennanmesquita0,

Please take a look at this and let me know if this is what you are trying to achieve?

Best regards,

I did the following

1. Open your file

2. Thicken SurfacePatch1

3. Distance = -2.243 mm. You can adjust it however much you want it to be inside. I measured and if you use 2.243 it terminates within the big hole the detail is sitting in.

4. Did not do this step. Pattern the thicken around the wheel

Hopefully these ideas are helpful?

Hi rennanmesquita0,

I'm attaching a file of what I tried. You can move the end of marker at the bottom of the timeline and see the Thicken-1 and C-Pattern5 I created. Hopefully this should be more clear?

In order to show the "detail" in better color, on the Bodies folder in the browser I did Right Mouse Button and  selected Create components from bodies. Then Inspect, Component Color Cycling toggle  which assigns different colors to different bodies. Please see attached image. Again these steps are just to show the model in different colors. Thanks
