I created the surface of an object, all the outside, I also managed to unite it completely, but there is no way to solidify it, nor to squeeze it or to turn it into solid... .

Is there any way I don't know to do this?

Thank you.
 
extruding a complex set of surfaces? It doesn't work and you can't even be honest. . .
 
But did you do a witness? because if so you must first give the thickness you want and then make the asses... if you mean this

Uh...no, I created a part and inside this part, with the surfaces I made a shape, a shaped shell, now I would like to solidify it with thick 2 mm, but our friend creates has strong problems to solidify something that we also have only one hair out of place, edges, angles etc...

I would like to solidify it with creo, so I can then manage the features later. . .
 
For example, I create surfaces if a surface resulting from the other side is zero or under the precision set.

In these cases it is best to use very low thicknesses (type 0.1mm) if it works and increasing thickness, it goes to stall, one of the reasons is the one mentioned above.

other system that I recommend, is to cut the surface in areas and try to thicken, slowly move the cut until you find the area that gives you trouble.
 
If you are lucky and your cuts are flat, you can use the fill tool to close the surfaces.
or, ultimately, you're tampering with the thick offsets of each surface, joining them all and solidifying the inner and outer shell...it's a good job, but it always works.


Have fun;)
 
No, I can't post the part unfortunately.

However, I think the problem is in those places where the thickness actually goes to zero or where, for example, a ray disappears as 320i s said.

I tried and I can thicken it 0.11 mm, at the minimum of capitulate, creates the shell but then it is practically unusable apart maybe trying to figure out from what the errors are....

more than else I was wondering: I have sometimes seen using the shell function (which btw does not find in my creo 3), since I have the outer surface, I cannot fill it and then find the way to empty it? But in fact I don't even do the offset of the union surfaces that I created.. .

to what I understand, for what you're describing, maybe it's not something that solves in 5 minutes...if you're good maybe you put 4/5 hours of work as a trash and sew. If you don't want to understand it, because it's a work of m that I often find myself doing with the imported steps, or with the style surfaces coming from the designers... but I do the consultant and for me these works are the best.
so many create functions are connected to each other, if it does not work one, there are no other seemingly different functions as a function.
It leaves the command! Thickness" is a command that if used improperly combines only the big cases that as you go on with the modeling you could complicate things until even more extrusions work. .
when you are with these problems, you return to do things in a primordial way, like offsetting each surface (no rays!!!), join them and solidify them at the end.
This is complicated as geometries are complicated, but the solution always exists to achieve solidification of the thick component.

Have fun;)
 
the dripping will give you the same problem as the thickness.
personal experience tips:
-analyze the surface in its completeness, find where there are problems, copy the surfaces that do not give you problems and reconstruct only the incriminated surfaces and then often;
- "offs" the surfaces you know do not have problems, close the "holes" due to the problematic surfaces, with ad hoc surfaces, creates the lateral surfaces between the 2 surface groups and solidifies;

in both cases keep the surface you want to offset as "master" for the changes you may have, when you are sure that everything is ok and you know you never have to go back to review everything (because you will create the mold), with the command "comprehens geometry", you reduce everything to a unique feature in the tree (but it is math "dead" eye!).
future changes, parts on a much cleaner side without the failure of previous features.
 
interesting comprimi geometry... . then, as I was messing up now I'm going to do the thing trying to make a mix of surfaces and solids already from the beginning, so as not to get to the end with only the surfaces...then I see.

but how do we analyze the surfaces?
