3d solid sweep

3d solid sweep

3d solid sweep

(OP)
I am trying to create a 3d seal representation wrapping around a 3d seal flange for a door aperture.  I would like the part to be solid, but am unable to crete it with rib, and there seems to be no sweep function as in V4 how can I do it.  flange is 3d seal profile is 2d sketch?

RE: 3d solid sweep

Loft (or Multi-Sections Solid).


Why can't you use a rib?

RE: 3d solid sweep

(OP)
Rib seems to want two sketch'd components therefore the 3d flange is non selectable

This is the same case for lofts where the base edge I wish to sweep the solid around is non planar.

I am sure there must be a way to do it as they could on V4, am sure I have just missed a funtion / option somewhere.

RE: 3d solid sweep

Rib definately doesn't require the profile to be planar or sketched (unless you are in some licence configuration I am unaware of)...

RE: 3d solid sweep

(OP)
You are 100% correct.

It was due to the fact that the profile had a gap in it.  Have almost got it sorted.  Be perfect for an easy start tomorrow morning.

Thanks very much for your assistance.
