WARNING: SWEPT BLEND_1 is entirely outside the model

[pimm]

I've never run into the above titled message before.  Part of me wants to ignore this, but I'm worried about possible downstream issues.

I do have the above listed SWEPT BLEND_1, but it was created entirely within the model I am building.  Why would I get a message saying that it was created entirely outside of the model?

The only thing that I can think that would cause this is that I have within my model imported a STEP model and I am referencing a number of cross section curves in sketches.  As long as my model includes the STEP import I didn't foresee any issue.  Is this why I'm getting the above issue or is there perhaps another cause to the message?

Creo will throw this message anytime you create two separate "bodies" of solid geometry within the same part.  I've never had it cause any issues.  Keep in mind that if you export this model to a STEP file and then reimport Creo will assume it's an assembly instead of a part (but you can override this).

Awesome!

I must have received this message before but just not noticed.

Yes, I can see that if it was exported that it would likely be seen as 2 separate parts.  Perhaps that's why it says that it is entirely outside of the model.

By the time I'm finished this message will disappear.  It's good to know that it's nothing to be concerned about.
