Help with Var Sect Sweep

[prowd]

I am attempting without success to create a variable section sweepusinga series ofcurves along a straight trajectory. However the resultant surfaceuses only 2 of the three chains - where am I going wrong? Any help would be really appreciated

I have included the relevant prt file created in Wildfire 2.0 using ISDX

It appears
from your image that your problem could be that you have used an arc as the
section, which won't regenerate all along the trajectory if it uses all three
chains. Use a spline to define your section instead, and make sure it is
sketched as part of the sweep, and not sketched as a separate feature. Also
make sure the spline references all the trajectory points created when the sketch
is defined.



Hope this helps,



Sam

Hi Sam
As you suggested I replaced the section arc with a spline and regenerated the surface using all three chains
Thanks for the help
