Sweep Part Creation: Useful Tips (3-D)

3-D Standard > New > C-edge sweep

To create the best possible sweep surfaces, you should keep the following tips in mind:

 

How many guidelines are required?

Avoid self-intersections

The part should be roughly defined by means of guideline and cross-section(s).

  1. In general, the desired sweep part is more likely to meet expectations if the cross-section is positioned as closely as possible to the guidelines.
  2. Cross-sections that are far from the guideline do not necessarily produce a result that is plausible for the user at first sight.
  3. Particularly in the case of non-plane cross-sections, a calculable part is produced if cross-section and first guideline intersect.

The guideline must not contain bends (angle >0°).
