    surface creation

    I have model ( for learning only ) that has half -holes , that I would like to know how to fill , so I can create tool-path's on this area. Have tried with a few different method's of surfacing with no luck . If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would be grateful. Area I wan't to fill is circled in image.

    Thank's in advance.

    Try Edit>Face>Delete Face option and select both half-circular and the bottom flat face.

    If it doesnt work you can Extract the adjoining surfaces and use Edit Sheet Boundary>Remove Trim option. This will give you the original suface and you have to trim them to fill the open area.

    If i am not clear enough please post back.

    Third way....Model complexity dependent

    Since this seems like a pretty easy and straight forward model, you can also create Ruled surfaces between the edges, I use Arc Length option instead of Parameters by removing the Preserve Shape checkmark

    Harold,

    In NX5 you can use Direct Modeling to delete the faces. Select Insert - Direct Modeling - delete Face. Then Pick the faces of the "hole" The system will extend the remaining faces to cover the area removed.

    Smile Ruled & N-Sided Surface Worked

    Thank's Ananth for your tip. That worked great. Thank's also John for your input. Tried the Direct Modeling to delete faces, but all I got was error box that said ( It was not possible to delete the set of faces to be removed. ) This is a Parasolid Text File. X_T. Don't know if this has any thing to do with not being able to perform this function. But as alway's. thank's for your time.
