Remove material above complex body
Good morning,
I need some help . I have created and attached a simplified model of the current body I am working on. this body is relative complex an created with a sweep of several crosssections along a path (please see the red body in the attached pics). Now I want to put this red body (RB) into another body (AB) and need to remove all material above the RB to be later on in real live able to also put/lay the RB into the AB.
How can I accomplish this?
I tried to extrude some faces of RB in part-wb into z, which should be the correct approach for a following cut-operation, but there are some issues as you can see in the following pic. I also tried to create with Arch-WB a Shape2D-View seen from the top-side. But with this tool I get several not needed inner lines from round shapes which are hard to remove (in a more complex model). My original intention was to use this 2Dshapeview for an extrusion which in turn is used it with a boolean-fragments operation together with the original shape to reveal only the upper part.
Thank you in advance,
HoWil

Hi Wilfried, I remember that you are working in the field of mold-construction which is very similar to what I need. Have you maybe any hints?freecad-heini-1 wrote: ping

Re: Remove material above complex body
seems similar: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 4&start=10
I'd say, the general thing we need is an ability to extrude a solid. I'm afraid, we still don't have a usable solution for this problem.
I'm pretty sure that the code that computes projections for drawings and shape2dview can be useful for this, but the problem for now is that it produces flattened geometry, and for extruding a solid we need it to remain in 3d.

Re: Remove material above complex body
I'm not quite sure I understand what is to be cut and what is to be left, but several downgrades and a Trimex yield this:

Re: Remove material above complex body
Sorry,
Nop thats not what I need.
I try to explain a bit FC-ish :
If you look from the top view onto 'Part' and 'Part Form' and switch on the included Shape2DView than you should see : Now I need to create on the light-blue body a 'pocket' (cut) of the complete (outer) Shape2DView 'up to face' of the red body.
In the following pic you can see the result of my attempt to manually create what I want to cut form the light-blue body. Basically you see the material in z-direction above the red body. This was created by hand which is not the way to go because it includes the use of inkscape to cut inner lines form Shape2Dview and finally results in a broken body.
BR,
HoWil
Re: Remove material above complex body
Hi DeepSOIC,
The problem here is that the Shape2Dview draws opened/non-closed lines into the inner region (please see the attached image). This is due to undercuts of the 3D-geometry and yields the problem that no face can be created out of it.
BR,
HoWil

Do you thinks this (please see post1) would be possible with your nurbs-wb?
Thanks in advance,
