Freeform Modeling
Freeform Modeling
(OP)
First of all I would like to say that I am fairly new to UG and have only been using this program for approximately six months. Basically, what I am trying to do is model a pushnut or palnut depending on how you know it as. I am having problems forming the tabs. I have included a 2D drawing of what I am trying to model. The method that I was trying was using the bridge curve tool between two short revolved sheet bodies. This method has given me no success. I did not know if there was a different method of doing this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

How did you copy the the first body that you created and array it? If you could help me with this that would be great. Thanks in advance.

Sometimes it results in weird happenings, but it should work OK for you. You might have to include some Booleans from time to time if the array of the Group fails.
