Ok,
really, really simple operation but it's not working properly. am I missing something simple?
when I started messing around with Creo 2.0, I just made a very simple shape. a box to be precise.
i then added a protrusion on one of the faces of the box. I wanted to add a round to the intersection between the new protrusion and the base box feature. when i added this round, the round curled under the new protrusion rather than away from it.
after I sectioned the part, I notice that it's not solid. it's hollow. i should clarify that this is when I created an actual cross section. if I use dynamic cross section, the part appears solid. only when I use a named cross section does it appear hollow although adding more features and trying to radius the corners presents the same problems.
after a bit more experimentation, I extruded a simple cylinder. no other features in my model. if I section it, it's hollow. the option to extrude as solid is selected so what's the deal?
here's an image showing a dynamic cross section. although the body of the part is solid, the capped end seems to be
showing a surface. I hid the surfaces layer so that's not the problem.
