Any tips for creating a VSS (Variable Section Sweep) in creo 3?

[Patriot_1776]

I can pick other trajectories besides the origin trajectory all I want, but the section will not be driven by them.  I can create the old style swept blend, but that's it.  It's forcing me to make 2 sections, and then it gives me a simple blend between the 2, but I should be able to use only one section, and drive it by other trajectories (like a VSS), and I can't.  Am I missing something?  I thought the VSS was now bundled into the swept blend command???

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Ok, figured it out, it's NOT in the swept blend, it's in the sweep, and you have to check a stupid icon to get it to work, instead of simply looking for a WORD to describe it.

Is it cheating to mark myself as having the correct answer?

Hi,

in CR2 you have to click highlighted button when creating VSS.

Yup, another retarded indecipherable icon to try and figure out.....  To me, that's a welding symbol.......

It's a happy icon.
