Is there a way to sew surfaces together using X2 Mr2?
Is there a way to sew surfaces together using X2 Mr2?
if you have the solids option, select solids/from surfaces
this will create one solid body
How big is the hole and what is the nature of the geometry? There are loads of ways but i'd use a different way for different scenarios
The part was a parasolid that had 3 different angles and had half a hole going thru them. It was a part being processed in the toolroom so I did not really get into it. I work in short run production we use another cam system there.
Thank You
You'd probably have to share the file if you want a definitive answer
I have attached a parasolid that is modified from the original, due to the customer thing.
The act of saving it out as a parasolid turns it into a solid body (surfaces knitted together to form a solid) if you open the parasolid file in Mastercam you will see you have two solid bodies (two separate parts) do you want to join them together? Click on screen/statistics to see what geometry entities you have in your file.
And so you know there is not a a option to stitch surfaces in to one.even you you make it to a solid it will still be different faces.but as Degmc is showing you have to solids that can be joined to make one.

What is the best way to do this and keep it clean?
I would just patch that up using ruled surfaces if it's just to stop the cutter going in there. We use Pro E for CAD here though so we work from IGES surfaces in MasterCAM.
Thank's John for the tip on ruled surfaces . Don't have a lot of knowledge on surfacing & repair. Starting to learn a lot depend's on how you chain your geometry .
