Help with SHELL feature

[leemcdermott]

Hello all,


Still a bit of a novice on Pro/e and wondered if someone can help?? I have a flat surface of 0.6mm thick with two 5 deg. draft protrusions coming out of it - 180 deg. apart (one on front of the surface, one on the back). I can send prt file if needed.


I would like to be able to shell both protrusions to make two pockets - its for a box moulding, I just get "can't construct geometry" errors when I try.


Need 0.6mm wall thickness of shell - using Pro/E 2001. Thanks in advance.

I'm having trouble picturing (attaching one might help) what you're about, but is a plate with opposing cup shapes, open end out, close?

If that's it I don't think shell (which is simply automated surface offset, stitch and join, usually involving an entire body) is what you want(?).

Thanks for your reply Jeff,


I've managed to do it by modelling in a slightly different manner.
