Hello,
I´m going to make a prototyp from a very complex model. For that I´m scaling all the pieces very small to make like a toy of a very big robot. For that I´m saving all the pieces as Stereolithographie. My problem is that some of the pieces have very complex structure. Perhaps in the motors or other parts, there are houndreds of pieces. I don´t need all this pieces inside, i just need the kontour from outside of my part.
I want that inside of the parts it´s all solid, to fill a part from inside so when I make a cut it seems like a uniformal solid peace, no gears, screws, nor empty space, but a full material part. I have tried with "fill", but it doesn´t seems to work.
Thank you
Hi Garcia,
Maybe best option is to publish outer surfaces and copy them to another part that you will solidify after removing holes in those surfaces. New feature in Creo 3.0 comes to my mind where you can copy surfaces and auto untrim them - remove holes.
Have you tried saving the assembly as a Shrinkwrap, and then maybe Solidifying the resulting model?
You may have to experiment with the Shrinkwrap settings a little, but I'm guessing you'll want holes filled and maximum quality.
