 You can't always get there from here. | |
It's also handy to"copy to clipboard" your solid, then blank all and paste, rename the current layer and blank so you have a copy of a solid on a different layer. They're handy to use after a solid cutter or difference operation that leaves you with "parts" that you will use later.
I have problems sometimes getting the exact result with only one solid modification operation. Sometimes need to create bits and pieces and reassemble to get the surfaces neccesary for NC generation.
A common procedure for me is to use solid cutter to get a surface, then use that surface in a difference operation to get the final result. Or intersection then explode to grab the surface element I am after to use in another operation. Can't be done without one or more clones. |
