RE: special sweep

Can you provide at least a picture of what you're attempting? Better yet would be an actual simply example file.

RE: special sweep

It's still not clear exactly what it is that you're attempting to do.

the green face are the result, the profile without positioning should run/ guided at the blue face edges( Führung) the light blue face are given faces. In Nx I have to position/transform the profile at/to the guide, ... or is there a solution I don't know - Hope you'll understand.

RE: special sweep

OK, I think I uderstand now, and YES, the profile has to be positioned relative to the guide curve as you would like the profile to be swept. Note that it does NOT actually have to be positioned ON the guide curve, but it MUST be positioned so that when it is swept that it's 'part' of the surface that you desire.

I hope that's clear as to what I mean.
