- [Instructor] Next thing I have to do
is clear out the A side.
I have the bosses in,
but I need to be able to access
the holes for the bosses in order to put in
whatever screws,
bolts,
nuts,
anything that needs to be used to attach this
to the part that it's going to be attached to.
So I have to clear out that space.
Now I have a body up here.
It's called Body_3,
that's where the bosses went.
And I'm just going to go in here,
right-mouse click on that,
go into Properties,
and call this Bosses.
The reason why I'm doing it is because
I'm going to use this body.
I'm going to take it,
I'm going to right-mouse click
Copy,
and Edit,
Paste Special.
So I've already got all those bodies generated,
all that geometry's there,
and I want to reuse that geometry to create the holes
for the A side.
So I'm going to paste it with a link,
and it's going to take those bodies,
copy them in and as you can see,
I have an exact duplicate.
Now when I look at these bodies,
I'm just going to center graph on that.
You'll see I have this with a little blue arrow.
This is indicating that it's an internal
link in the file.
So if the original's change,
these change.
Now all I have to do is do the offsets.
So I'll do what I did before
with the thickness.
And once again,
I'm just going to say edit formula,
go negative,
thickness,
just double click on that.
And pick the faces that I want to offset.
Pick those three faces.
And then I'm going to pick these top faces.
Select Okay.
And just like that,
I have those bodies that are going to be used
to clean out for clearances.
Now I'm just going to come in,
go to my PartBody,
Define In Work Object,
go ahead and collapse those,
go back to this Bosses body,
right-mouse click,
and do a remove.
And as you can see,
I now have those clearances on the A side.
And they are linked to the original.
So if the originals change,
those change.
Last thing I need to do,
is put in the holes.
'Cause I have to pass a bolt through,
or some sort of screw.
And I need the clearance holes for those.
I'll just double click on the hole function.
And for that,
I'm going to go in and use my original positions.
Hide show.
I'm going to pick that point,
pick this face,
four millimeters for diameter.
And it's just going to go up to last.
Select okay,
and there's my hole.
You can see the hole appears after that remove.
Some people like to put these into
separate bodies as well.
Feel free to do so if that's what
you want to do.
You may want to place them in their
own separate body and do a removal.
It's not always necessary.
So I'll just walk around the part,
place all my holes in,
and just like that,
I have my A side clearances,
and my holes.
Just go ahead and hide these points.
So we can now attach our cover to
our final part.
