Hi All,
I have a model of a 3D clyindrical part in step format(.STP).
How to create the sweep path for the same if I want to create a sweep of different contour but along the same path?
please help me.
Maybe not the most robust solution but with this model it will work to intersect 2 sketches.
You would use the silhouette edges as sketch references.
You may need a little more cleanup work but it is possible to do this.
There is a complex kink where the transition is not smooth. This may require special attention if this is critical.
This is another technique you might like.
I am using the edges provided by the import model to drive a sweep. The model has sufficient opposite edges to use an origin and a chain. The sketch is 2 equal length lines where one is construction and the other geometry. This generates an surface edge that can be use for subsequent sweeps.
