Rib along a spline
Rib along a spline
(OP)
Im trying to create a rib that follows a spline, and then continues out into a straight line (i.e an extended "S" shape)
How can i create tangency between the spline and line, to allow the rib to follow the joined curve?
THanks.

if the line and spline are defined by a single sketch, you can add a tangency constraint between them.
if the line and spline are individual elements that you joined, you can edit the original geometry and make spline tangent to the line, or the line tangent to the spline.

5050t: i cant find the "curve smooth" icon in GSD. What license is needed for this?
Thanks for your responses.

You can find "Curve Smooth" in the Operations toolbar OR click "Insert" - "Operations" - "Curve Smooth".

I know have the co-ordinates along the rib, and have performed a multi-section solid, but this appears "twisted" along the surfaces. I would prefer to use a rib, if i can make the striaght line tangent to the spline.
thanks.
