The thing about the hand held ones is that you have a bigger available volume with most of them, and the ability to get into complex internal geometry.

Figured it out eventually. The surface was basically cylindrical, which SW didn't like much. I had to cut a section out, then could use the 3d sketch to trim the rest of it away.
Thanks for the help!

Howdy,
I'm trying to trim a surface (generated by offset) using a 3d sketch (splines on surface). SW allows me to select the sketch as the trimming tool, but won't allow me to select the surface to be trimmed. I've seen SW fail to allow selection of surfaces when looking at a sectioned view of...
Say r is your base circle radius, then I'm looking to generate a plot of the parametric equations (variable theta)
x(theta)=r(Sin(theta)+theta * Cos(theta)-1)
y(theta)=r(Sin(theta)- theta Cos(theta))
What I'm looking to do is to generate the curve created by varying theta.

Hey all,
Newbie to the cad world, looking to be able to parametrically draw involutes. The hangup is that I don't know the best way to "plot" a parametric function of theta (angle of detachment). I've done this with the curve from table command and functions in Excel, but would like to make...
