What's new

I keep getting this message "getOwningBody not supported by LightFace"

Don't have a clue what LightFace is but as the message states "If the problem persists contact Alibre Customer Support and provide the following information:"

Have you done that? Seems like the logical thing to do. :confused:
 
I have had that message a couple of times before, not often enough to report it, if it pops up again I'll stick a report in.
 
Some possible reasons:
  1. Selecting a face that belongs to a surface body or an open body in a function that expects a solid body (fillet, chamfer, shell, extrude to face, hole on a face).
  2. Selecting on imported geometry (STEP, IGES, SAT) where the topology was not properly stitched into a solid.
  3. Accessing a component in an assembly context whose geometry is only held in memory in a reduced form.
  4. A call from an add-on or AlibreScript that accesses Face through AlibreX and queries the body property. In that case the error would not come from the core application but from third-party code.
  5. A damaged or inconsistent feature tree in which a reference points to a face that no longer exists.
  6. Moving something and deleting it afterwards, which leaves a gap and a reference to geometry that no longer exists. This covers three cases: reordering a feature in the tree, moving geometry in space, and moving a component within an assembly. In each case the stored face reference can outlive the geometry it points to.
 
Is this error coming from an assembly? There is mention of this error in bug fixes for v29.1.
