    Looking to find any training or manuals to aid in getting up and running in both Powershape and Powermill.
    Thanks

    Delcam Powershape unwanted holes

    Powershape making progress; but not without issue:

    For example, I make a 20x20 box and convert it to composite curve, then I smart surface it and get what looks like a great surface all flat in multiple orientations.

    But, then I convert it to a solid and run the solid doctor and it says there is a hole in one corner. If I automatically fix this non visible hole-- then additional problem of overlapping surfaces comes up. Whats up with this hole?

    I think I'm missing something.

    Hey, I just spotted this thread.

    Your 20x20 'box' is really just a single flat surface. PShape expects a solid to have volume. So because your box is not connected to enough other surfaces to form a volume, it shows you the unconnected edges to report a hole. In your case, all edges are unconnected.

    As a PShape user from V1 (1998) I'm considering a series of YouTube tutorials. Let me know if there'a an audience.

    Cheers!

    Thanks Matt. I missed your post until this evening ... Your insight is appreciated.
    I may ask you a few more questions when I get back on Powershape.
    Regards, Dan
