Intersection problems in Part

Post by Medusa »

Hi, I am trying to make an intersection of a cube with a logo, so that the cube is the base of the logo, for this I am using Intersection in Part, but I cannot make it run, could someone tell me how to do it?

My file is attached.

Hi and welcome to the forum!

What do you mean by "intersection"? If it is a boolean Cut, then select in this sequence
- Cubo
- Extrude
- Apply "Cut".

Translation problem, Intersection must be equal to Common: Extracts the common (intersection) part of two objects.

I want to achieve something similar to the attached file, for this I have made:
- Cylindrer
- Extrude
- Apply "Fuse"

but the union is noticeable on the edges, how could I smooth this out? I thought that with "Common" I could achieve this, but I can't do this.

I don't understand your problem - besides your wording. Why don't you use the same boolean as in keychain2.fcstd?
As for the notions: please follow from the Part Workbench page the links to Cut, Common and Fuse, the latter AKA Union.

Is keychain.FCStd the same as uploaded before? Then there is no need to upload it twice.

I have Keychain and I want to get the same result as Keychain2 but without the join traces on the edges, how can I do that?, as you suggest I have tried to use booolean because it doesn't work

Replace the outer B-splines in the sketch with a circle, and the inner with an arc.
