Fellow users
Please help me model the attached drawing. I am perplexed how to match the acorn appearance in the front view. My attemp to using Variable section sweep didnt give the results wanted
thanks
VSS is not your best method for that one. The "point" at the bottom of the inverted pyramid will be problematic with a VSS.
You are better off creating 3 element boundary surfaces for each pyramid. A bit more laborious to create the first time but really robust to changes later on.
David,
How are you implying the XOR function with regard to Pro in your post?

RE: "...a hole pattern which would always remove material from subsequent features, ensuring that, no matter what, the holes would be there..."
I believe Pro/E calls this existing functionality "through all" and "reorder"
That is called "direct modelling."
