How can one find the errors on a model?
If examine geometry results are OK both on solid and on body faces, after heal geometry, CAM operations report geometry is still suspect.
I tried to extract all the faces and sew again, the result is the same.
I remember, there was a dotted bounding box around the error when redisplay part geometry in previous versions...
I am on NX 8.5.0.23

Hello kukelyk, the suspect geometry should come with imported geometry.
One method to try to avoid that kind of geometry is File -> Export -> Heal geometry, the new created part maintains the manufacturing operations you have and, sometimes removes the suspect geometry, try it.

Thank for Your interest, but as I wrote above:
"after heal geometry, CAM operations report geometry is still suspect."

May you send me the part or some portion of the part that I can reproduce the problem.

Hello,
attached is your part with some modifications. I have extracted all "good" faces and I have created (in red) two surfaces in the "bad" region.
Now, no suspect geometry is found. The problem is in the zone I have created in red colour.

Regards
Frank.

Great.
How did You find the bad faces?
It is my everyday problem, because we working with such models.
Thanks.

To locate the bad faces I select the geometry by faces, I select some faces and regenerate the operation, then I add faces to the geometry and generate again, until I detect the bad faces.

The operation must generate as fast as you can, this way you can locate the bad faces relatively quickly.
