  • How do I extrude along this path?

    I am trying to extrude the hexaganal shape along the construction path, but I can't work out how to do it. I thought I would select the hex shape, and then check "direction" which would allow me to click on the path. Howeever it will not let me select the arch shaped path shown below. Is there any way of doing this?

  • Using a closed loop sketch as path for opSweep

    Hi, I'm trying to use a sketch inside FS as a path for the opSweep function. It works fine when the sketch contains a few connected lines, but it throws an error as soon as it becomes a closed-loop (e.g. a rectangular path). Any idea how it can be resolved? var path1 = newSketch(context, id + "path1", { "sketchPlane" :…

  • Having Trouble getting the Sweep Tool to Work Properly

    Hi! I can't seem to get the sweep action to fully connect through my geometry. It seems to be getting stuck on this one last bit Is this because the angle is to tight in the corner of my shape? (see attached images) Please, any insight into solving this would be greatly appreciated. Thx :)

  • order of iteration For loop for FACE query

    I have seen the path method for getting the correct order of edges, is there a way i can do it for faces as well? It creates the stairs, but as you know, it will not iterate thorugh the query in any specific order. Any suggestions? <div> var allfaces is Query = qEverything(EntityType.FACE);</div><br><div> var allfaces1 is…

  • Helix inside non-conical surface - sweeping help needed for inverted auger.

    I need to build an auger on the ID of a conical surface that extends beyond the ends of a cone. I have succeeded with the sweep on a cone, but the rest is beyond me at this point. I profiled a cone with extensions at either end, but now it is no longer a cone. What can I do to achieve this?

  • How can I join paths?

    I draw a star by crossing lines. Now I like to join those lines to create the start shape I am after. How can I combine all the lines so that the small segment inside either get removes or become a separate line segment that I could remove manually? I want to only have the outer lines left.
