Bumblebee updates (jewelry) on Solidworks
Solved
Hello,
I am looking to model a piece of jewelry I created. There is a step where I am stuck, the updates (I am a beginner in modeling).
In jewelry, an update sometimes accompanies the setting of a stone; it is done with a saw on the back of the piece for various reasons (to enhance the back, give more light to the stone, prevent it from getting dirty, facilitate cleaning, lighten the piece).
To do this, we drill a hole, draw the shape we want to create, put the saw blade in the hole, tilt it at 45°, and saw along the lines. We leave a thin strip between each update (about 0.2 mm). Below is a photo of the updates I made, in a honeycomb shape, which adapts to follow the edges.
I have therefore created a model of my piece in Solidworks, but I do not know how to model my updates.
I would like to achieve the same result as in the photo, with a 1 mm strip on the edges, a 0.2 mm space between strips, and a 45° angle, knowing that the piece is 1.2 mm thick.
Any help is welcome!
Thank you very much to those who will respond.

It's okay, I found it! Sorry for the inconvenience...

Sure!
So actually, it's the "draft" option that needs to be activated in the "extruded material removal" function.
We draw the honeycomb, connect the diagonals at the center, apply the "extruded material removal" function on the drawing, activate the "draft" option, and that's what allows us to set the inclination of the extrusion (in degrees).
