How to control a sweep end profile.

Phil_G_1987Phil_G_1987 Member Posts: 4
Is it possible at the moment to create a sweep that has a different end profile to the one it starts with?

To put some context in this I'm currently playing around and modelling a weldment frame piece with a 45 degree support between an L shaped piece. I can sweep from a side profile upto a point but at that point it simply intersects with the model. As this is a single piece I can't simply trim the geometry to the correct length and angle.

I've added pictures for reference

Sweep to surface shows the geometry, and geometry used shows the sketches I created to try this out.

If anyone has any tips/ideas to share about the best way of creating this in OnShape I'd love to hear them.

Thanks!

Phil

    Thanks guys! This got me exactly what I need :). I found a way to get a similar end result, but not as neat by using the delete part feature and removing the top part protruding from the cross member.

    Thanks again!
