Uneven pipe ending

robert_norbergrobert_norberg Member Posts: 4
I'm making a bent pipe by sweeping, but the end cut of the pipe does not become 90 deg, instead it becomes uneven like the picture. Why?

    Without seeing the document (you could share a public doc), it's hard to fully answer, but it looks like your section that you're sweeping is not perpendicular to the sweep path, and then you thickened it, which creates an edge surface which is normal to the surface.

    Yes that was the problem. Now I started the sweep path with a short perpendicular line and that solved it. Thanks!
