7.9.8. Problem avoidance

To check the integrity of a part, click on the Check part [Test part] button. The integrity must be ensured so that no error message appears in the QA check and ultimately an error-free export to the various CAD systems is guaranteed.

If there are problems when executing the function this is immediately documented in the 3D view.

In the following you can see some examples for construction errors:

  • Error message "non-manifold"

    A definition for "non-manifold" related to praxis is: You could not machine the shape out of a single block.

    The inner cut-out touches an outer surface of the body at a line

    The inner cut-out touches an outer surface of the body at a line

    In the 3D history [3D History], a red cross is displayed on affected elements is displayed.

    Faulty cut extrude

    Faulty cut extrude

    The Notifications dialog box displays the error.

    The error message Non manifold also appears in the QA check dialog box.

  • Error message "The objects are not contiguous"

    The shape cannot be machined out of a single block.

    Error: "More than one solid"

    Error: "More than one solid"

    In the 3D history [3D History], a red cross is displayed on affected elements is displayed.

    Faulty Base extrude

    Faulty Base extrude

    The Notifications dialog box displays the error "The objects are not contiguous".

    The error message "The objects are not contiguous" also appears in the QA check dialog box.
