Removing Thin Feature from Sweep

Removing Thin Feature from Sweep

Removing Thin Feature from Sweep

(OP)
Ok, this may be an elementary question but, I am going to ask anyways, since I always get great answers....

I've used SWEEPS many times, but drawing a blank right now.  I have a simple PROFILE and PATH.  But it comes out THIN. I remember seeing an option in older versions of Solidworks if you want a thin extruded part.  I do not, so where do I go to remove the thin extruded part?

I am use Solidwork 2011, SP2.0.

Again, this may be a elementary question, since I have used Solidworks for years, but crazy, I am stuck, drawing a HUGE BLANK.  And nobody else around here is using Solidworks, just I alone.

Thanks in advance

NEVER MIND....lol.
CLEAR THOUGHT just hit me.
I was using SURFACE and should have been using BOSS/BASE, duh..

 

RE: Removing Thin Feature from Sweep

Well, first of all, Sweeps don't like huge blanks ... try drawing lines instead. smile

Can you post the path and profile?
