The second item: copy the surface

Copying surface surfaces from one part to another is a very useful tool when you want to build relationships between the middle parts below, especially when you get an irregularly shaped input file, thousands of surfaces For surfaces, you just need to extract a part of the surface.

I still follow the previous operation, I might want to apply this part of the virtual surface or create a surface. Just thicken its surface as a new feature.

What you might ask yourself is: This sounds great, but there is no "copy surface" command "ah! Your idea is absolutely correct!

Many users try to use the stitched surface command, but that doesn't work. Unless the faces you choose are adjacent to each other and form a single surface that can be stitched.

However, there is a simple trick to solve this problem. That is the "equal surface" command. Select a face or face, adjacent or disjointed, and choose an isometric face.


When the feature management tree is displayed in the "Isometric Surface" state, when you set the equidistance distance to zero, the Feature Management Tree dialog box will automatically display as "Copy Surface". It is it! You can use this feature in an assembly, but limited to editing part states, you can also choose faces for other parts and copy surfaces. This will create an interconnected surface. This tool has been applied to dozens of cases.
