| Summary | 0001768: Draft Array creates an invalid compound when component solids intersect with each other | ||||
| Description | Draft Array creates an invalid compound when component solids intersect with each other. Could we add some ability, one way or another, to create a Fuse Boolean in this case, rather than a compound, so that the out put would be valid? Part Fuse when run on non-intersecting solids creates a fuse that is a compound of two solids, much the same thing as a Draft Array? So wouldn't it make sense to just make all Draft Arrays run a Fuse underneath then if they intersect you get a a valid compound containing one single solid and if the component solids of the Draft Array do not intersect you would get a valid compound of several solids? | ||||

This should be an option, not a default. Fusion of many complex shapes in an array can consume more than a little time, and possibly fail. |

I tend to agree with quick... Fusing is a very heavy operation, while compound is really fast. And the Draft array is rarely used for fusing I think. We could of course add an option for it... |

+1. I needed such a feature a couple of times. Although I worked around (used clone in one case and linear feature pattern in the other case), the workarounds were less convenient than a fused array would have been. +1 for optionality. Or: integrate such a fusing into Part/Fuse tool, by allowing an object to be fused with itself. That is where I naturally was looking for it. |
