Wildfire 4.0, M080
I used to be able to create mold volumes and use the extrude option and extrude up to surfaces that are non-planar to the sketching plane.
This is one of the reasons I always liked using volumes rather than parting surfaces.
Surfaces only let you extrude up to a point, edge or plane resulting in a feature ending parallel to the sketching plane. No mater how hard you slam your fist against the desk. You can't make it end at, say, a 1° plane on the reference model. But volumes act much like solid cuts and protrusions and you don't have to mess around merging...
I have been using WF4 off and on for a couple months. I'm now into a large more complex project that has to be done in WF4. I just realized that it will no longer allow me to extrude a volume up to a non planar surface!!! It reacts like the parting surfaces do. It will not allow me to select any surface that isn't parallel to my sketching plane.
Can someone please confirm?
Unfortunately we no longer have maintenance so I can't call PTC.
Thanks,
