Variable section sweep with multiple sketches?

You might look at it as additional "guides". As long as you don't "lock" the swept section, the section will adjust to the trajectory and guide sketch. When you select an additional trajectory(hold CTRL), it will be the 1st "guide" and additional sketches will be the additional guide features.

The Variable Section Sweep "Almost" works well for me.

I am happy with how the surface rail matches up with the actual part. This looks like a tool that makes locks and varied draft easy.

Unfortunately I am finding that I can not get the start and end of the sweep surface to end up where the 2 guide rail sketches start and end. Since this segment is only a part of the side rails on the part profile I have to have the surface start and end exactly where my guide sketches end.

When I normal to trajectory or normal to projection I'm finding that there is a small gap to the end of the sketch.

If I choose a constant to normal projection the starting surface lines up perfect to the start of the guide rails, but the end of the surface falls way short on one of the ending guide rails.

I can't seem to find a way to build my own sketch that would lock to the exact end(s) of the guide rails.

Is there a way of ensuring the start and end of the surface lines up with the start and end of the 2 guide rails?

Sometimes you have to try all 3 different techniques to see what works best. Sometimes you can't get EXACTLY what you want, either because what you want is impossible with any software, or because of the limitations in Pro/E. You just have to choose what gets you closest and allows you the best building block for future features.

Many times, what I'll do is pehaps make a simplified model where I can experiment with ONLY the area that's giving me trouble, find the best way to do it, and only then use that technique on the actual model.

For instance, I was doing some wireing harness routing (without the wiring module we don't have), and I tried to create the wiring bundle from the sweeps where the individual wires went into one connector to the same point for the other connector. I had a bundle of 11 wires I needed to do as a swept blend, and Pro/E will NOT let you have more than one closed loop in the sketch (THIS needs to be fixed and would be a REAL enhancement, unlike wasting time on ribbons....). So, I tried to do each wire separately. I was in "insert mode" because I wanted these features at the front, and I got all the wires done, and was happy with it. But when I resumed all the wiring at the connector ends, it all failed!!! WT#???? I tried monkeying with the absolute accuracy, and then redoing the swept blends, and/or the wiring at the ends, but nothing worked. So, I ended up having to "cheat" and do it as one swept blend, using the outside of the wires (all the visible surfaces) with a solid inner core. It's obviously not 100% correct, but you'll never see the problem because it's buried inside the bundle. Now, I COULD have given maybe .001 clearance between the circles as I think the issues Pro/E was struggling with was all the tangencies for the 11 wires and possible overlapping volumes due to rounding errors, but honestly, that should NOT matter. And, in the real world there wouldn't be gaps like that anyways (especially with the zip ties we're using on the harness), so that's an error right there. You can bury a simple extrusion inside another with no issue. Strange. But, it worked, most likely makes a much smaller file, and nobody will ever see the problam area, so I'm good with it.

I'll be putting some pics of the beast in my photo album shortly.

Best of luck!
