Surfaces tutorial help
Surfaces tutorial help
(OP)
Hi,
I was going through the solid work online tutorial help. There is one tutorial call "surfaces" where one nozzle is created.
The problem is that when I sketch it from scratch I can not create the Nozzle grip and "exit nozzle" profile as it is written in the tutorial( by surface sweep).
If I start from solidworks' sketch then everything works fine.
I am just wondering what is the thing that I am doing wrong.
I can sweep the surface but the profile is not like in the tutorial.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,

I tried to check all the geometry sketches with the tutorial sketches. It seems the sketches are same.
Mirsola,
Here is the link I uploaded my part model.

I have named it "hammer". It's inclomplete. Look at the left hand sweep portion. I tried to sweep the elliptical(ellipse) edges along the path and followed the curve.
But in the tutorial sketch when I do the same it makes a little different(top of the sweep is flat and bottom portion is curvy).
Here I am uploading one sketch from the tutorial also.

Thank you so much for your help.

Also, you are missing the path and guide curve for the exit nozzle portion.
Try creating a new part template from the tutorial part, and then recreating the nozzle using the new template.

I found out the problem. Actually it's not a problem its a trick.
I had to first sketch the path and guiding curve first then the profile.
This is a little trick but nowhere it is mentioned in the tutorial.
I still do not understand why it is like that.
Thanks all of you for your help.
