3D solids & union

The first thing you might try is to use the Repair feature on the CD -
assuming that you are using R2004. If that does not clear up the problem,
you may have to remove 2004 from your computer, reboot and re-install.

Failing all of the above, you might try to post (zip) the files here and
someone may be able to do the unioning for you.

 

ups,

We both using AutoCad 2002 and both got same error. File attached.

Meelis -

No file was attached.

 

You don't need to re-install AutoCAD. This is a relatively common occurrence when working with 3D solids where UNIONing will result in extremely thin "wedges" of solid or gaps in solids. OR when two coincident faces have a very small overlap in the plane of the faces where UNIONing will result in very thin "ledges" at that plane.

Find the offending solids by UNIONing two at a time. Once they are determined, you can use SOLIDEDIT Face Move to modify the offending face. Make sure that the faces of the desired UNION solids either overlap by a small amount, OR they have precisely aligned edges.

 

Hello,

I have some 3D solids and I can't use the 'union' command. All of them
are parts of house and simple boxes. And I get those errors:
1)The Boolean operation on solids failed.
Modeling Operation Error:
Coincident face_face_ints with different body vertices.

2)The Boolean operation on solids failed.
Modeling Operation Error:
Vertex intersection found but stored pointer NULL.

3)The Boolean operation on solids failed.
Modeling Operation Error:
Inconsistent containment of intersection curve.

I try to help my partner (she is an author of that file), but I don't
know where is the problem. I have 3y. 3D experience and I am clueless.

What I have to do?

Meelis

 

thx

 

You're welcome.
