Trouble Sketching from Derived Parts
Trouble Sketching from Derived Parts
(OP)
Dear EngAddict,
I have attached my model of my derived parts "New Cap.ipt" and you will see that I am struggling to get the sketches to work.
Would it be possible to ask you to have a quick look at it please and let me know what I am doing wrong?
I am trying to produce a solid model of the sheet metal model deriving the two parts has produced.
I would be most grateful.
Thank you,
cjj

RE: Trouble Sketching from Derived Parts
If you are just trying to copy it you could loft the top as a new solid, then loft the bottom. Now thicken with the intersect option (basically will shell your model. Or just loft the top as a surface and thicken with the join option.
You might need to explain a little more what you are after.
RE: Trouble Sketching from Derived Parts
I apologise for not making myself clear.
What I am trying to do is produce a parametric version of what the subtraction of the derived parts achieves but as a solid.
When I try to Sculpt the 3D sketch as per your kind sample it seems to automatically use the inside profile from the derived model rather than using my sketch.
When I try to loft it the secondary lower loft fails for some reason saying it cannot produce a meaningful etc.
Thank you for your kind help.

Thank you, I had come to the same conclusion by trial and error.
Thank you for modifying my model too.
I wondered if you could possible help me with my querie regarding writing an external rule please. I have asked it as a new question.
Thank you once again.
