CEU4 - Editing Shell Feature V8i vs Editing Shell Feature CE

Hi,

In V8i I am able to edit an existing Shell Feature in 2 ways which I'm missing in CE:

1.To add an open face to a Shell Feature.

2. To change the Thickness of individual open faces afterwords.

I can't find any way of this Edit possibilities of Shell Features in Connect Edition.

Are there other ways to do the same changes in CE or if not will this be added future releases?

Regards,

Christian

  • Hello Christian,

    As Carl replied, this is a defect we have but if you use Modify Face and use AccuDraw to snap to the next face so that the thickness of the face "becomes exactly 0", you can get rid of the faces that fail if dragged beyond the next face in the solid. Here's an example of what I managed to do with your test case and Modify Face by snapping with AccuDraw to the next face:

    The behavior is incorrect and will be addressed but hopefully this method can provide you with a temporary work-around for your issue.

    This is a test

  • Hi Carl and Diego,

    Thanks for your answer. Yes it's a possible solution for some faces but not for all.

    If I want to open a face at the back side of my example Solid which has a complex shape,

    it opens the hole back side instead of only the selected face.

    So I hope a Tool for adding open faces will be added to future releases.

  • Hi Christian,

    Please could you send us your Model for review, if need be we can added it to the Defect\Enhancement to ensure this example is also captured.

    Thanks
