Tubing with variable profiles
Tubing with variable profiles
(OP)
Hi. i'm new to solidworks and was wondering how i would create a tube with variable profiles. like for instance, from 2"diameter to a 4" with a smooth transition.
using structural members has been neat but limited to one profile. any help would be great. thanks.

You can use the loft command or the sweep command. The sweep has 1 profile with as many guide curves as you need. The loft will essentially give you more control than a sweep.
