<B style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">How can the rib be patterned linearly over the revolved surface? [/B]
It is necessary that the 2mm thick top horizontal edge of the rib maintain the same distances from the edge of the top face for the pattern instances. (Please refer to the MS Word document in the zip file below)

The method of creating the datum plane for the rib on-the-fly does not work for patterning even if the datum plane is created by offset method from default datum plane.

The other end of the rib profile is anchored on the revolved surface by a datum point created by offset method.

Even grouping the rib, datum plane and datum points and creating a patterned group does not seem to work.
Waiting for a solution.

Reorder the rib to after the boss but before the holes in the boss.



Extend the rib into the boss (do not stop it at the edge)



linear pattern the rib
