I've using Bobcad for about 2 years-V 24 and 25- I am doing a project where I merged a series of wire frame ( call them oval shapes with half oval inclusions) all in the X and y Axis--Merged in the -Z axis .100" apart--My challenge began when I wanted to Skin these wire frames( I'll call them layers)
In the first Z-.900" of layers I am able successfully use the cross section tool and create a decent solid--If I try to cross section or skin the entire part I get an explosion of deformed surfaces jutting inside and outside the wire frame.--I sent this drawing over to BobCad and they tried to show me how to patch the wire frame together with points,surface extend and skin--Resulting in a lost 20 hours and not a hint of success.
I won't use the gents name but he ended by saying my geometry isn't clean enough--Looks pretty darn clean to me even in gigantic zoom mode!--I took great pains to be sure everything was attached in every layer nice and clean before I merged the files.
Anyone have any tricks?-MTB
By the way I think Bobcads people are fantastic-- this isn't here to thrash Bobcad--
