How to ... swept protrusion

How to ... swept protrusion

RE: How to ... swept protrusion

Hi Tom,
Yes I would think you could get something like it, although it's difficult to see the exact form from their drawing and picture. I would start by creating a series of sketches defining the sweep path and the cross-secions at various points along it. The blue-surf command may be another way.

Have a look at this link http://www.geocities.com/segurucool/
there are some blue-surf tutorials that may help.

RE: How to ... swept protrusion

Beachcomber is correct.  The only way to do compound swept geometry like that is with surfacing tools.  You will need to find cross-sections at various locations in 2 planes and then sweep or loft a surface through them, using whatever guide curves are available.

Then you can turn the surface(s) into a solid.
