Editing shape of a Face

Post by saeppi »

Hello,
I've got a few faces which need editing. Is there a way to change the shape of faces without using the Cut function in Part workbench? In the attached example I need cut away the blackened areas and make the edge even. Any ideas are welcome, thanks!

The general answer is no.

Without the file or more details of the model and how it was constructed offering suggestions would be guess work. :(

Hello, greetings to the community!
It would be more appropriate to attach the file (if over 1 Mb use a cloud service and post the link) or in any case give more details, avoiding the community to guess after many attempts.

If Part Cut is failing it might be because the object has defects, often the case with imported step files. Check it for errors with CheckGeometry tool, BOP Check enabled.

Cut works fine with solid objects but often fail with surfaces. Better use Cutout (Part Wb). Or TrimFace (Curves Wb)

Thanks, Upgrading the Faces and using Cutout in the Part WB works beautifully too.
