How to make a Swept tangent to first and last section ?
How to make a Swept tangent to first and last section ?
(OP)
Hi
I`m using NX10 and trying to make a Swept which will be tangent to first, and last section ( similar to Through Curve Mesh where you select surfaces to be tangent with ) and also I want to control its shape by a spine curve ( spine curve is perpendicular to first, second and last section )
Can Swept be used to create such a surface ? Or do I need to use some other options ? It doesn`t matter if I achieve this by one or several feature. Do you have any idea ?
I tried to use normal Swept but it seems that it does not allow me to make the Swept tangent to first and last section.
Appreciate the answer.

You can edit / change the edge to become tangent as a separate feature. (if you have the license.)
see attached.
