Intersecting Faces of Components

bernardobaldissera

Hello!
There is an annoying thing happening to me. I created a component that intersect the faces of another component. In fact, is the concrete slab that intersect the uppermost part of the walls. The result is a transition between wall and roof (viewing inside the house) without edges. So, I 'discover' the option ''Intersect faces/With model''. The problem, now, is that this option create all the edges, but unbound to any component and it would be a lot of work to solve this manually. So, isn't another easier way to solve my problem?

Thank you very much!!

Intersect Faces is what you want but you have to do it correctly. Open for editing the component that needs to get the edges. Then run Intersect Face>With Model.

You need to understand components and groups. When you wrap a bunch of geometry into a component or group, you isolate it so no geometry will be added to it unless you open the wrapper (edit) the component or group. It's like having a sandwich wrapped in cling film. If you lay a slice of tomato on the sandwich without first opening the wrapper, it won't change the sandwich.

You never heard of diffusion?

I have heard of diffusion but never a slice of tomato diffusing though a layer of cling wrap. Well, at least and still being a slice of tomato on the other side.
