Hello all,

I'm trying to design a wing but I have a problem with the following feature : multi-sectional solid. When I try to create a solid with 2 sketches, the closing points are well placed but not their arrows ! It results the feature can't generate the solid, of course. I also tried with the coupling function, it's better but there are still some problems.

Do you have an idea how to change the closing point direction ? I precise that when I click on the arrow, the direction is updated but not in the good direction.

The problem :

Sometimes the direction arrows look like they are pointing in different directions,but they really are not. The arrows will either point in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction.

If both arrows are the same and the Closing Points are aligned, the Multi-Section Solid should not be twisted.

You're right about the arrows, thanks !

However, I still had a tangential problem with my curves. I solved it by draw my wing in small steps : Leading edge/Trailing edge/ Skin/ Beam/ etc...
