sweep cut in two planes

Hi,

I am using NX 7.5. I want to make a smooth transitioned profile by cutting the area mentioned in the attached picture. Please tell me how to do it. I tried edge blend but it does not work because I want to remove a bit more material from the area mentioned.

Thanks,

I see the red arc in the picture, but can you show, or explain, how it gets swept

RE: sweep cut in two planes

If we had the model we might be able to give it a try, but it would be hard to advise anything from only a picture.

That being said, your best bet might be to model a 'tool' body with a concave version of the shape that you're looking for and then subtract it from the model.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Hi,

Sometimes revolve with a required profile works instead of going into advanced commands. :). It worked for me.

Thanks anyways for your help guys!
