Hi all
I can wrap geometry onto a curved surface or extrusion. How can I cut and leave the wrapped sketch?

RE: curved washer

The wrapped sketch isn't actually created when used in a Deboss or Emboss feature. If you want a representation of the wrapped sketch, try using the Scribe option.

If you explain what you are trying to achieve, we may be able to give a better answer.

cheers

I am trying to model basically a curved or bowed washer. (a flat washer formed into an arc to act as a spring) Ive extruded the partial arc and were trying to use warap to get the form I need, but cannot trim sections outside of the form.

RE: curved washer

Why not create it the way it will be created in real life ... as a Sheet Metal part with a sketched Bend?

cheers

I'll have to play with it as I dont use sheet metal tools much. Ill research what I can and any tips would be great.
Thanks

RE: curved washer

You can also just do a sketch of the cross-section of the washer and do a revolve.  That should get you where you need to go.
