Change the Boss Features

In this section, you redefine the boss features to set the references for the changes that were made in the model.

  1. Drag the End of Part marker after the Boss1 feature.
  2. Reorient the model to the Front view as shown in the following image.
  3. Turn on the visibility of Work Point1, Work Point2, Work Point3, and Work Point4.
  4. Double-click Boss1 to access the Boss dialog box. Notice that the boss no longer intersects with the model now that the changes have been made using the Move Bodies command.
  5. Ensure that the Centers command is active in the dialog box. Select Work Point1, Work Point2, Work Point3, and Work Point4 in the browser to clear them from the selection set.
  6. Ensure that the Centers command is still active. Select Work Point7, Work Point8, Work Point9, and Work Point10. These points align the boss locations with the changes made to the model.
  7. Click OK. The boss feature is now properly located relative to the existing geometry, as shown in the following image.
  8. Drag the End of Part marker after the Boss2 feature. The model fails due to a modeling failure while trimming. Click Accept.
  9. Double-click Boss2 to access the Boss dialog box.
  10. Ensure that the Centers command is active in the dialog box. Select Work Point1, Work Point2, Work Point3, and Work Point4 in the browser to clear them from the Centers selection set.
  11. Ensure that the Centers command is still active. Select Work Point7, Work Point8, Work Point9, and Work Point10 to align their location with the model changes.
  12. Click OK. The boss feature is now properly located relative to the modified geometry and the failure is resolved.
