Knurling

[TRC]

I'm trying to knurl the handle of this hammer.  Could someone point me in the right direction.  Sorry for my ignorance, I'm new to Solid Edge.  I'm using ST5.  Thank You.

Hi there @TRC,

I'm at work, using the commercial version, so can't open your file....but, do you want to have a physical model of the knurling?,...or are you OK with a texture, like Solid Edge uses for threads??

[TRC]

Yes, that would be fine.  Thanks for your help.

OK...[recycling the model from your thread question here  ] for applying a texture, go to Style on the Home tab, select Face Styles, I preselected the thread, and chose "New", making a Knurling [Square] entry, then on the Modify Face Style dialogue, I went to the Texture tab, and applied the image I had saved [see attached texture image "Knurl-1"] in the Solid Edge textures location. [check the Help file for more detail on this]....can also use "Part Painter", with selection method set to "Face" to apply this texture.

[TRC]

Thank you very much for all of your help.

Very welcome!

Sorry for hijacking the thread a bit but is there a way of physically modeling this rather than just laying a texture on it?

I am trying to model a ripple affect onto a surface but I can't find a way to achieve what I am after

Thanks in advance

Hi there @astrixkid,

No worries. Yes there is......and, I have replied to your other post, regarding what I think might be of use there.
