That's OK Michael, it's not a tool that we can't live without, I just raised the question to see if it was possible with the current geometry library and if it makes it in V6 that's fine too.
Thanks for looking into it.

Hi Danny,

Are you try to create parting surface ?

Thanks !

Hi Anis,

> Are you try to create parting surface ?

Yes, that's what I'm showing there, the spoon shape may look simple but I think without the Silhouette tool it would take you a lot more steps to establish the correct parting line.

So attached is sample of parting surface.

Hi Anis,

Yep, that's the parting face, you've got the idea, the only thing I did was to smooth out the area shown in the picture, there is sort of a kink in this area resulting from the offset, this is not nice for mould makers in regards to machining the face and fitting afterward so I refined this area a little to get more of a smoother surface that follows the spoon shape.



I've attached that part of the surface with a refined version for you to have a look.

Hi Danny,

How do create those surface in MoI ?
Or are you create the offset surface in NX ?

Hi Anis,

Everything is done in MoI, I offset the part line and smooth it out using the control points.

Cheers
