[Lo...] Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Hello everyone, I have been having an issue with setting my clearance plane. I have tried using different base alignments but I end up with the same thing and this error message. I can't seem to set the clearance plane correctly.

[Da...] Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Look at the numbers in your X,Y, and Z positive and negative. The picture is kind of small but it looks like you have a positive number in the negative X.

[Cl...] Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Lou, you can also highlight all your features and then go to CAD > CAD File > Automatic Healing > Build Geometry. Thiswill "trick" Calypso into thinking you have an actual CAD model, and will then activate the Clearance Plane from CAD model button. That might get you going.

[Ja...] Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 It looks like you have a positive value for the negative X plane, and a negative value for the positive X plane. Also, your positive Y value is not enough to cover your part.

[Ma...] Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Try Clarke's method. I use it all the time when I don't have a model. Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/14474-clearance-planes/#findComment-76008 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I "assumed" that those numbers were set in stone and can't be changed.
