wire to 3d

[glassyoffshore]

Hi,

I have a pattern drawn in a 2d sketch which I want to wrap into 3d. The problem is its a wire (defined as a line)and the wrap function can only deal with a closed contour/extrusion.

Can anyone help with this?

Thanks in advance.

Instead of wrap trying using circular, Linear, or curve driven pattern (feature pattern)

Or create a decal (image file) and apply that.

Can you do an Offset from the 2D line, and create a closed contour, and then do the Wrap?

 

[Theophilus]

Yeah, sometimes I'll connect the lines together with more lines off the surface I'm working with--just to hack that requirement of SW. Then the Wrap feature should work.
