I have a 3D part with two pockets in a block. When I try to get a pocket path it fails. It seems it is impossible to select the just the bottom of one pocket in 3Dveiw. Which ever I click on I get both selected.
In the path edit I just see one face selected but it fails creating a path:
Code: Select all
13:59:29 PathFeatureExtensions.ERROR: Extend Outline error 2
13:59:29 PathFeatureExtensions.ERROR: Waterline error 1
13:59:43 PathPocketShape.ERROR: Pocket does not support shape Model-Body.Face70
13:59:43 PathGeom.INFO: Zero working area to process. Check your selection and settings.
First screenshot is taken from the top of the pocket in the path dialogue.
It seems odd I can select separate faces in the path dlg but not in 3D view. Is there some ambiguity in the model which is confusing the 2.5D pocket tool?
I was expecting the 2.5D tool to project the area on z=0 plane and clear the main volume, then I can use 3D tool to dig out the concave bottom surface.
TIA.
[EDIT]
New pocket-error-tidy.FCStd file. I've tidied up some very slight misalignments in the model due to where I was placing symmetry constraints but this does not seem to fix the issue.
