I followed some tutorials I found on the Innovation Space but I&#8217;m still not sure about its correct modelling. My doubt is regarding the Reference surface to use. I tried the two configurations in the attached image: on the left (case A) I selected only the bottom surface of the hole in the reference body (in red), while on the right (case B) I selected both the top and bottom surface of the hole in the reference body (in red).&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Do you have any explanation about the difference between the two setups? Which one is the correct one?<\/p>\n<p>Thank you in advance!<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/21-09-2023-1695288972-MicrosoftTeams-image.png\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-307830","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-beam","topic-tag-mechanical","topic-tag-Screw-1"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["71876","200","3029"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.206.193.15"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["1208"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["307830"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["200","3029","71876"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["3"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["308380"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["308380"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-09-25 12:24:17"]},"test":"camilla-gironi4unibo-it"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/307830","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/307830\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=307830"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
