Auto Skin Keep Faces from Solid Body

[jmoore]

I'm trying to use Auto Skin selecting the original solid body to keep the facets that match the faces of the origianl solid body following the instructions here: Creating the CAD Geometry

However, when I run the tool, it doesn't match the faces and I'm left with a geometry like this: 

Any suggestions on how to make this behave more like the example?

Hi Jmoore, 

If you are using Autoskin the result should be patch body (CAD) and not a faceted body. 
Do you see any error message after the Auto-skin operation? The image seems like a result of ShrinkWrap Tool.

Hi Atharv,

You are correct. I submitted the wrong picture. Here is a better example:

I would expect it to look more like this simplified example part I was able to get working:

Thanks for sharing the new images. Triangles on the mesh which do not match a selected CAD face get autoskinned.
So it seems like the mesh and CAD face don't perfectly match resulting in autoskin on all faces instead of retaining the CAD surface.

You can improve the mesh and check if it faces match the CAD surface. Improve the mesh mainly near the holes and at rounds so that the triangles on the mesh match the CAD face.
