Hi,
I'll try to make an intersection (or a cut) between al modeled piece (smart solid) from a supplier and a primitive solid (to cut of a part of the smart solid), and I get the message in the title
so
what settings? - where are these defined - to redefine these settingswhat geometry - what can be wrong the part (solid) isn't created
when I take the right part of the solid it goes wrong,a piece out of the middle of the smart solid creates well
I think some curves are "set" to precise to create,but where are these settings defined
OBD 5 / win10
I'll meed the right piece off the smart solid

Hi Rik,
Thanks for the sample.
That is a complex part, it may be that the result of cutting it results in a remaining piece that is geometrically too complex?
I was able to use the cut solid by curve tool to do this:
Cut out the middle:
Cut off the right hand end but not the left hand end
I was able to subtract the part from an intersecting block, but not the other way round (received the same error as you):
Do you typically need to slice up complex manufacturers parts?

Mark,
thanks for the replayeverything you 've done, I've tested before,but I needed the bad part...
What settings are defined to create the new (modeled) solidwhat is meant by "geometry"I've tested with the "drop complex" status, but no result,I've tried to modify the solid but no result
other things to consider?
regards Rik
Rik,
I'll see what other suggestions we can make.
Just to confirm, you wish to remove the left-hand portion leaving the right-hand portion?
What is the source of the original model?
Marc, I think this is a fairly common issue in Connect (ms). Users tend to use subtract solids more often than cut solids by curve (maybe the name of the tool puts them off. I mean why cut by curve. Surely cut by element would be more apt!)
Anyway, commonly we find that this fails with objects that would subtract easily in v8(tested and confirmed). My usual fall back is to use Cut by Curve to solve, but again, more often than in v8, it will fail. sometimes the parametric solids are too smart for themselves.
I've asked MicroStation product management to take a look at this.
