Projected curve onto curved surface-will not create a solid body

Projected curve onto curved surface-will not create a solid body

Projected curve onto curved surface-will not create a solid body

(OP)
Sketch is fully closed, drawn on a plane. Curve is projected onto a curved and flat part of the structure. As it is projected the rear line (left hand side) which closes the box dissapears. I draw one in on the projected curve, and select it during the extrusion process, but still continues to make a sheet body.
How can I get this to make a solid?

Picture for reference

RE: Projected curve onto curved surface-will not create a solid body

When you say "projected" are you actually creating an 'Extrude' feature? I think you're really going to have to provide the actual part file before anyone will be able to offer a possible solution.

whoops, seems like i was trying to do things the hardway. Simplest way a colleage jsut showed me, is to simply extrude that original curve you see near the top in green, and then just trim the body whereever it sticks out.

RE: Projected curve onto curved surface-will not create a solid body

I was thinking that that might be what you'd need to do, but having the actual part would have helped in seeing exactly what it was that you were attempting. Glad that you found your answer.
