HDEAR Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Hi all, Every now and again when sectioning stuff, I get this message ( attached ). Is there any easy way of finding out what the offending article is? Thanks Harley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas@Solidmakarna Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 The Section Tool in the drawing cannot section surface parts. Finding them can be done manually by expanding the tree items and visually looking for the orange surface part icons. You can also use the IPRO Active Manager tool in the IC Mech Tools catalog to divide the tree into different types and find the surface parts that way: You have probably imported a STEP file which contains one or more surface parts. But it can also be a part which contains negative features that touch each other in a way that the Parasolid kernel doesn't handle. Those kind of parts can be found by running the Statistics tool under the Tools tab. Make sure to select all (or selected) parts from the scene first.
