I have created a belt and turned into a part. And then was adding a sweep. But it doesn't seem to around the wheels. They cut in. What I am doing wrong

    Hi Kyle,

    Got it! it looks like it was because you did the sweep as part of the assembly and not as the part. By default, doing this will remove geometry not add it. To fix this I just updated prt0002 to have the sweep feature and then I deleted it from the assembly. Attached are the files.

    Please let me know if you have any other questions!

    Have you looked at the videos on PTC Learning Exchange for Belts? As Steve mentioned, a picture of the problem would help out a lot.

    Thank you - I was able to create one myself.
