So, I have had many issues trying to knit surfaces thatshould knit perfectly.
Example 1:
Copy faces of a solid (created in SW 2009)
hide copies
delete originals
attempt to knit, failure to knit faces, with any option set.
(and when this happens, replace face crashes SW)
Example 2:
Knit feature yields a solid, but if I go back in the tree andchange something elsewhere in the model, the knit fails.
Example 3:
Imported geometry, forget it.
Example 4:
Knit feature yields a solid, do a verified rebuild and knit failsto rebuild.
I know what you are thinking....Perhaps I have invalid geometry?Well to me, if it worked once, twice, three times...It should workagain! Ya....Do an entity check! Well, SW crashes when I use checkentity...
In examples 1, 2, and 4, all faces will knit to adjacent faces, butwill not knit surface body to surface body. The only solution Ihave found is to manually select each face, which can literallytake hours, and it might not even work.
I spend about 2 hours per day dealing with this issue.
I am seriously pissed. My VAR is so far incapable of helping mesolve this issue.
Yet another reason to switch to think3!SolidworksSurfacing
