I have two questions...unrelated.....
first...I am modeling baffels on an intercooler. It's a 3" pipe welded into the top of a sheetmetal pyramid (4 sheetmetal plates at angles to each other welded along the edges). I have blended a rectangle, from the side of the baffle where the plates and fins for the heat exchanger will attachto,to a smaller rectangle about the size of the pipe that is welded to this baffle. I can't get a clean merger between the pipe and the rectangle...To make it work I did the blend described below and then extruded a pipe through thewhople blend....after that I made a cut and everything worked out...there must be a better way though. I could cut the pipes hole out of the baffle, protrude a pipe, and surface blend them.......I want to do this with minimum features....any help? hopw would you guys go about this?
Second...I have a section that I want to travel through a trajectory that moves 3 dimensionaly.....in other words if I am looking at the sketching plane I want the section to move in at a specified depth, then travel in the x direction by a certain angle, then in the y direction. How do I do this? Can I somehow start a trajectory then pause it, change sketching planes, and then resume? Thanks for your help guys!!!
