Joining Surfaces on Complex Shapes | 641
This procedure joins lines regardless of their original direction and converts
arcs and splines into polylines. You may need to reset the gap tolerance to
correctly join the polylines.
3 Use
AMPLANE to create a trimmed planar surface from the joined lines,
responding to the prompts.
Desktop Menu Surface Create Surface Planar Trim
If you choose the command line method, enter w at the prompt before con-
tinuing to the following prompts.
Select wires: Select polyline (1)
Select wires: Press
ENTER
Your surface should look like this.
4 Use CHPROP to move inlet E to the INLET layer.
Now you can trim top D by projecting the edge of the inlet. First, thaw layers
to show the inlet and top sections of the pump. Then, break a polyline into
segments and join one segment with other polylines. The joined polylines
form the shape of the projection that cuts material where the two surfaces
intersect.
To make selection easier, zoom and rotate the view as needed.
