Re: Boundaries of an Array Shape

Ah. I should have been more specific. I want to use those dimensions in an Expression in the Formula Editor. Can that be done? Thanks.

Boundaries of an Array Shape

How can I find the total size (I suppose its the outer box boundaries) of a shape which is the result of creating an array of another shape, please? The exact case is enclosed: What are the X,Y,Z dimensions of "Slits"? It seems like an obvious question, and I did look for other answers. Th...

Re: Making Unions of Arrays

Oh, this is very very weird. Having tried 4 or 5 times before posting, where each time I merged the parts, they disappeared, this morning I loaded my model with a view to doing a full recompute as suggested, but when I merged the parts, the didn't disappear. Does this mean that the "recompute&q...

I've done everything I can think of to make sure the edges don't align with other shapes ... I think I read that they needed to have Fuse set. Any ideas what else I can...
