Sweep along the guide with two different sections
Sweep along the guide with two different sections
(OP)
Hello everyone!
I need your help guys, I am trying to make a sweep with two different sections using the Styled Sweep Tool in NX9 and I am having bad results.
Is there any other tool to make this connection? Or Do I just need to fix something in this tool?

RE: Sweep along the guide with two different sections
What the sweep does is connect those two direction arrows and since they are 180 degress apart your sweep gets twisted 180 deegrees.
So what you need to do is figure out a way to align those two direction arrows.
RE: Sweep along the guide with two different sections
I'm going to assume you want tangency at both ends and no command with the word sweep in it will force tangency - I'd look at Studio Surface with Alignment set to By Points - follow same rules above with the arrows on the Section curves (pick the same general area, make the arrows point the same direction).

RE: Sweep along the guide with two different sections
In your image it shows that the two circles (your sections) have 'starting points' (indicated by the arrows) which are 180° out of phase from each other. You need to rotate one of the circls 180° so that the start points are consistent. Note that if the arrows are still pointing in opposite directions that's not a problem as they can be reversed by simply double-clicking the arrow.

I attached my model for your check.

I don't know why when I selected the body edges It made with inverted arrows, but when I make it now with two sketches as you did, It worked perfectly.
However I am still trying to understand the reason of inverted arrows when I selected the edges

What the best option to do this (excepting, of course, recreating the EXTRUDED 9 accordingly)?
Thanks
