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
I've asked MicroStation product management to take a look at this.
Hi Duncan, we have found some file specific issues with the cut by curve tool but we were not able to consistently reproduce failures. Would you be able to send us any of the examples you mentioned that fails in CE but work in v8i? Thanks!
Hi Marco, the next time one of these comes up I will forward on to you for testing.
The core problem seems to be with the solid itself, particularly across the top. When attempting to use the Extract Faces/Edges tool there is one specific face that simply does not work. And as best I can tell, it may be due to a section underneath that meets at what could be a zero-thickness wall - which isn't/shouldn't be possible.
When moving a plain solid to a location that doesn't touch that face I had better results:
I can't say whether other similar areas exist but this one definitely seems to be a factor.
Can you find out from your supplier how this parametric solid was created?
Rik,
I'm waiting for feedback form development on what they found regarding your sample.
What was the source of the original? It could help if we had the original download to work with.
