Creating a Rib along three different Axes
Creating a Rib along three different Axes
(OP)
Ok, this problem is really annoying me....I want to create a rib of a circle, for example, that follows a center curve, that moves forward along the X-direction, then curves UP in the Y-direction, and finally moves FORWARD into the Z-direction.....can u follow what I mean?? I can create a rib along a profile that is in a songle plane, but as soon as I create another sketch that is in another plane, my rib cannot seem to recognize the last part (The part moving in the Z-direction) as part of the first sketch. Does anyone know how I can solve this?
Please see http://www.angelfire.com/falcon/max0/Rib_Problem.jpg to visualize what I mean. I can get the circular profile to create a rib along the two lines in the YZ plane....but not the one that moves forward along the X-Axis...
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

RE: Creating a Rib along three different Axes
And what 'join' command are you referring to? Is it in Part Design or Sketcher?
Thanks...
RE: Creating a Rib along three different Axes
Extract means you will create a wireframe geometric element out of your sketch. A join with the 2 extracts means you will create 1 entity out of 2. You have to create extracts because you cannot JOIN two Sketch.
But if you want to create a 3d curve to be your center curve, this can be done using Wireframe and surface or GSD workbench
Have you ever been to a CATIA V5 fundamentals formation ?
If not, mail me...
