Drawing generation failed.

Hi all,


I am a user of Catia R14 and we do mostly casting modeling work that involves lot of fillets.


My problem is, after cleaning the the model ,some views are not generating.


It is giving a error message as " View generation failed"


The cleaning report says "(FGM_1) => GeoFactory#2154 needs fat geometries cleaning."


FGM definitin is as follws.


FGM_1 (3) : the size of the CATPart is abnormally huge comparatively to the number of elements. Some vertices have unnecessary geometric data (linked curves / surfaces and some surfaces are over defined (unnecessarily extrapolated) => Cleaner: Removing of unnecessary geometric data, the Part is the same but smaller.<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><O:p></O:p>


I am not able to find those unnecessary things in my model to generate the required views.


Please give some suggestions on this .


Thank you.

from Tools menu select "Delete Useless Elements" to clear all geometry that is not used in the part design

From File menu select "Desk" command
a new window will appear
right click on your part in this window and select "CATDUAV5"
Check "Clean" and then press Run..this will clean the error "FGM_1"
