Hallo, is there a secret reason why sometimes I am able to remove material from revolved bodies and some others I am not?

    Not sure what you mean. Can you give a little more detail?

    Sure. Thank you for your kind reply. I simply revolved a sketch around an axis an I wanted to remove material with either extruded or revolved bodies after. It is a problem that has been haunting me since a long time. Fact is, some other times I can do that. And I cannot find the explanation.

    Giorgio, Perhaps the reason is that the previously constructed geometry is not solid. Maybe you previously made revolved surfaces thinking they were solid. If your sketches/curves cannot be made solid pro-e assumes your intent is for a surface. One way to quickly check is to do a cross section. Regards, Mike
