I wanted to create an irregular shape of human disc using the surface feature. I manage to construct the shape as per the sequence below:
1) Boundary blend at the wall area
2) Boundary blend at the top surface
3) Boundary blend at the bottom surface
The blue line is the sketch reference used for the boundary blend feature.
The final shape that I manage to construct.
I wanted to SOLIDIFY the image so that I can assign material properties to the structure -- but, it failed. I assumed it may be caused by gaps coexisted between the TOP - WALL - BOTTOM boundary. So I figured maybe I can export this file to .stp file, reimport the file with PTC Parametric and utilise the IDD (Import Data Doctor) to close any possible gaps.
However, when exporting the surface to .stp (or iges.) format, it only export the little two circle (see image below) which was created using style > surface feature. WHY WHY WHY OH DEAR LORD is this happening? Been working on this for weeks and it's driving me crazy! Is there any way I can convert the boundary blend surface as SURFACE to be exported as STP file?
Here is the wireframe view of the above model.
Please, help!
