    Smoothing bounded edges

    Hey guys, I'm a part time SE user and I've run into some problems creating smooth surfaces in ST4. I'm not sure if it's the correct way to go about modelling this object but it's almost like a half teardrop shape that I've created using curves and derived curves which I used to make a series of...

    Sketching in 3 axis?

    Hi, I'm in the process of creating a bluesurf object, it's quite an organic shape and the sketches require a fair amount of fiddling. I was trying to modify the bluesurf by a inserting sketches which didn't help because I can't move the endpoints. Is it possible to modify my original sketches...

    Cross curves

    Hi, I'm trying to use the cross curve command but the 2 existing curves I need to use to create a new one aren't sketches, one is a part copy and the other is a projection neither of which seem to work when using the "select from sketch" option. I have also tried using curves derived from the...

    Edit defintion in sync mode

    Hey, I'm using ST2 and I've been watching some tutorials in which they're using ST1. As I've mentioned before I'm a part time user new to Solid Edge and something that I haven't been able to figure out before even beginning this tutorial is how to edit definitions when working in sync mode. I'm...

    Bluesurf, lofts and sweeps?

    Hey guys. I'm in a bit of a pickle. My deadline is looming and to be honest I think I'm out of my depth on this one. I'm a 3DMax guy and not familiar with Solid Edge at all. I've tried bluesurf, sweeps and lofts and this is looking pretty hopeless. Anyways, I've attached a ST2 file and some...

    Squashing geomtery

    Hey I've made a part in ST2 and I need another version of the same part. It needs to be squashed along the Y axis. In 3DMax you would simply use the non uniform scale tool but I'm under the impression that although sketches can be scaled in Solid Edge parts can't. It would be a mammoth task to...

    Drafts from imported models

    Hey I imported a .stl file into ST2 and saved it as .par but if I try and create a draft the views are all blank. Is it possible to make a draft from a imported file?

    Thin wall failure

    HI, I'm trying to make a thin wall solid in ST1, synch mode. I've created the outside shape of the bottle and I'm trying to remove the interior leaving me with a 1mm thick bottle wall. There is only 1 face that I can use to create the thin wall, the opening of the bottle, but it fails every...

    Missing Commands

    I'm using Solid Edge ST (V20) and there seems to be a few command missing. The threading tool and the blue dot tool are definitely not where the help file says they are. And although the command bar is there for the thin wall tool there the extended options in the on the side are gone. I'm not...

    Model resolution and rapid prototyping

    I'm using SE v20 and created some parts for printing on a BST768 3D printer. The problem is the holes and other curved areas are not very round on the parts after printing. You can clearly see the 'sides' of the circles. I don't know SE that well at all but I did see the sharpness levels in the...

    Loads of questions from the new guy

    Hi, I'm very new to Solid Edge, only been using ST for a week or 2 and I'm a 3D guy, not an engineer. I don't expect anyone to answer all of my question but if anyone could help out with 1 or 2 it would be great. Apologies in advance if they are laughable. - Is there a way to taper an existing...
