Hi everyone, I’m stuck with an issue offsetting projected faces. This is a hobby project, as well as a learning one, so I’m also trying to understand the rules for offsetting faces, especially on curved surfaces like this.
The weird thing is that this specific projection and face offset worked just fine. Then I did a seemingly completely unrelated change to the model (added an extrude somewhere far from this surface) and the offset step broke. I then removed and tried to recreate it, but it keeps failing and I cannot wrap my head around it.
The projection consists of two steps, one projects from the front sketch, and one from the top. Projection itself works as expected.
Then I’m trying to inset these faces and the operation breaks. But again, it worked just fine at some point (I’ve of course tried moving the projection and the offset up in history but with no success). It feels like the model somehow became too complex for this to work, but it is pretty simple.
I know it’s probably very hard to tell based on a few screenshots, but does anyone have any theories here?
Edit: I guess the initial thought my be related to the shell, but it’s not related. It fails in the same way with or without the shell.
Had this issue way back when at times.
