Var Sweep Tool direction - Wing Profile

Hi,

I have the following problem:
I created a Wing profile "sketch 1" and Im trying to extrude this profile along a 67
 
Section Plane Control: Constant Normal Direction
(and pick the section plane).


Options: Constant Section


(You'd use the "check" to select an alternate traj
for normal to traj.)
 
Hi back,

The procedure works for a single direction path, but does not seem to work for 2 direction (leading edge - trailing edge).
In the case of the vertical stabilizer, I have the following:



2 problems:
- I have two different directions (front and rear)
- I need to project the var sweep on the aircraft body.

Would you have some recommendations on how to do so?

Many thx
 
I could probably go for the "boundary blend tool" instead but for this I thinck I would need to project the wingprofile (sketch 4) on my fuselage. Problem is... I have no clue how to do it!

You are missing a fundamental of the VSS.
In order for the section to vary it must be
dependant on the trajectories. That means
the section must be internal and constrained
(by dimensions or sketcher constraints) to
the trajectory reference points.


Note that when the section is not dependant
on the trajectories (as with the Use Edge
projections) use the Constant Section option.


See the variations in attached for some ideas.
