Question

intersect feature to extrude

Hi

 

I have a extrude feature which is not a sample rectangle. It is having slant edges. On extrude direction, I have a datum plane which is used to have intersect feature from extrude.

 

this intersect feature is having some profile , which need to be projected on another extrude feature to create extrude cut. Can anyone guide me how to do this?

 

Attached is sample file for your reference. What I need is to do extrude cut on extrude 2 feature. This cut feature sketch should be used from intersect1 or intersect2 feature rather than creating all entities into sketch for extrude cut. How to do the same?

Both of the cuts (extrude 3 &4) only remove material from extrude 2 and reference intersects 1 & 2 for the sketch geometry. If you modify the intersect features the cuts will update. The sketch of each extruded cut uses the loop curves from the respective intersect feature.

 

With regard to best practices for modeling it is difficult to assess as the design intent is not clear to me but if this resolves the problem then by all means use it.

Hi

 

Thanks for your extended hand of support. I do understand that this is not best practice as it makes difficult to understand, but we are trying to achieve different things through toolkit code and for that, I am trying to understand manual feature creation as I am not much aware about core designing.

 

Thanks for this part. Additionally what we need is to identify profile between two intersect feature. Please find attached file for detailed understanding of what is required to project. The entities in red (profile between two intersect) need to be identified by projection.

 

Thanks a lot again for your all helps and time.

 

Regards

Is there a way to do achieve the same?

 

Feel free to ask for any query.
