Surface Problem

Can anyone help me with this issue? I’m facing problems offsetting the highlighted surfaces due to high curvature.

Did you try the suggested actions shown in the error message?

 

Recommended actions:
Make a quilt from good surfaces, offset the quilt make patches over missing surfaces.

 

Copy all of the surfaces that can be offset and exclude the problem surfaces flagged by the tool. You will then have an open quilt at the offset value which you would then manually close the holes left in the offset.

 

You can try the approximate offset option which may offset all of the surfaces.

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your kind reply. Please see the attached part file. I followed the steps you mentioned but was only able to pick a single surfae, not the whole surface. Could you kindly guide me on where I might be going wrong?

Kind regards,
Adnan

Please post the data file (STEP file?) that you used to create the import feature (id40) shown in your model tree in the original post.
