Extruded cut up to surface revolve - not the expected results

[lumenharold]

I recall this coming up in a previous post but I cannot find the thread. I am trying to cut a profile from a solid and using a surface revolve as the termination for the cut. SW allows me to select the surface but when the cut is made it is to an another point in the model.

Apparently it is not possible to make a cut this way or I am missing something. The post I recall reading had said this was possible in SW08. Suggestions?

I don't recall the thread. Can you post pictures to view or files to play with?

Thanks for taking a look CBL. I can't upload SW files (customer wouldn't appreciate it) but I have generated some jpegs that I pasted into word and printed as a pdf.

The curve is a parabolic if that matters.

Have you tried projecting the "cut" profile onto the parabolic surface and then cut-extruding back from it?

 

[lumenharold]

I projected the cut sketch onto the surface as a curve. I'm not sure what I'm to do with it at this point, or did you mean something else?

OK, forget that idea. I thought you might be able to do a cut-extrude back from that profile.

However, I did a quick test and the Cut up to surface works for me. See attached.

Well I know that it is possible so that means I have something that is significantly different in my model. The beers in your smileys are calling me. I'll try again tomorrow....

Thanks again CBL.

Works now. In my model I had used the sketch of another part in the assembly then then did an offset to get the parabolic. I deleted the offset curve and replaced it with a partial parabolic.

Seems like the other route should have worked but not so.
