Hi,
I am new to the forum and this is my first post.
It has to do with Solidworks weldments (I have posted in sheetmetal cause i dont see a category for weldments).
Using solidworks 2015. I am new to weldments.
i know i can trim/extend and change trim groups and trim order to get the desired effect i want.
i also know that i can use the extruded boss or extruded cut to add or 'subtract' 'pieces' from my tubing.
so far all well.
but when it comes to a bit more complex shapes, i just cannot find a way to make it work.
for example: I have sketched a star shape drawing and added structural members to it (round tubing). I then draw a sphere in the center of this 'star of tubing'(using revolve boss). now i want to trim the tubes so that they sit flash on the sphere !!!! I have tried using combine - delete/keep bodies features but i do not get the effect i want.
Is there a way or a workaround for doing something like the above ! It doesnt have to be a sphere, just any shape drawn with any of the features not found on the weldments tab !!!
Thanks in advance
Giorkos !
