cut body with thickness body (by part) doesn't work

Post by MichaelW »

Hello

I want to cut a body with a body that has thickness by part workbench , but this doesn't work.
Is this a bug or a limitation of thickness ? Is there an alternative to do this?


Thanks in advance,

MichaelW

a very big first, but we learn every day: how could you make a thikness on all sides :?:
it doesn't matter, it can't work because the result will be composed of 2 separate parts which PartDesign prohibits

Why do you use 3 bodies and 2 workbenches when you could just use 1 body and simple grooves ?
Youi should not use Thickness but Offset.

Your construction is too complex.
