EDIT: I resolved this by just doing a regular old 2-D sketch on a reference plane :). Hi all, I'm referencing the 3-D sketch in the attached... So what I want to do is to take the sketch on the XZ plane and put it at the angle of the line in the XY plane. But how could I...go about doing this...? So...

Hi all,

In the assembly file of the attached folder, I'm looking to apply a coincident mate between Point1 & point2. However, when I select one point in the mate tool, the other point is unable to be selected! This is just a very strange issue. Any ideas

??

Thanks in advance,

Again, this is most probably due to you are having a concave surface as a base... This is just how concave surface behave, when you project a concave surface, you will get a flat surface, you might be able to distinguish it by adjusting the lightning and viewing the shadow, but i do not recommend i...

The attached is where I arrived after remaking the sketch. I just don't understand...why does the bottom surface still appear flat??

Ballfreak10

Seem like a correct revolve to me based on the section view image.png As you are revolving a concave geometry along an axis, the model will look "flat" depending on your view angle image.png But if you look at the section view/ highlight the surface, you will notice it is still following ...

Hi all, In the attached part file, I'm trying to make a revolved feature from "SKETCH Base". But the result doesn't come out how I'd expect it to! Take a look at the attached screenshot, and specifically look at the bottom surface. Anyone have any ideas?? All help is appreciated! Thanks in...

Hi all, In the attached part file, I'm trying to make a circular pattern of "X_Seed" about "Pattern Axis". I'm getting the attached image as an error when I try...this is particularly confusing, because wouldn't the plane that the axis is normal to have to be perpendicular to the...

By default, your sweep profile will follow the profile (Unless you change it in your sweep setting) Hence if your profile is larger than your arc which is convex / concave upward**, they will self-intersect...

I took a look at your file and noticed that your arc radius is smaller than your sweep profile height. This will create a self intersecting geometry Can you change the arc dimension to at least 0.25inch? image.png image.png I’ll try that next time I’m at my computer, thanks. But why would those dim...

From the screenshot shown it should have no issue creating the sweep

I can't find an option to edit my original post, so I'll attach it here.

Do you mind to share again this file so that we can take a look?

Yes, the profile sketch is highlighted in the attached screenshot - they do intersect.

Ballfreak10

As Matt had mentioned, changing the path will make it work as it clear up the self intersecting geometry image.png In the example above, the path was shifted such that the sweep path is piercing the lower line instead of the center of the profile image.png One thing to keep in mind is that this cha...

Does this mean my version of SW (2019 Student) is too dated to open your file?

Ballfreak10

Sweeps aren't allowed to run into themselves. That's called "self intersecting geometry". When you put the sweep path in the middle of the profile and then put a sharp sketch transition in there, the sweep runs into itself. Think about what you are trying to create, and then how to follow...

Hi all, In the attached file, I'm trying to use "SKETCH Swept_Ac" & "SKETCH Swept_Path" to create a swept feature. When I try to do so, SW gives me the error message in the title. Could this be because the end of the new feature would touch the pre-existing "Base" f...

Hi all, So in the attached file, I'm wondering why my feature "Cut Over Larger Hole" just kind of...isn't showing up in the model? It seems to be almost "grayed out" in the features tree, in case that matters. The weird thing is that SW hasn''t given me any sort of error indicati...

hope that helps

WOW, this was so overly helpful I just...I don't know what to say! Other than thank you, of course, haha!

Ballfreak10

Yeah, I showed you where the zero thickness error is. Don't do it that way. Use the technique I showed you with the shell feature. Fewer features, more correct geometry, better workflow, less messing around with sketches. 1.) When you say "extrude box", do you mean to just create an extru...

Ballfreak10

UPDATE MORNING 6/7: I did some inspecting, and I'm now certain that the area of the selected surface totally encompasses that of the selected sketch. This is the only cause of this error that I'm aware of, so I'm just not sure how to proceed... P.S. I can't find an option to edit the post, sorry, lol.

Hi all,

So in the attached part file, I'm looking to use "SKETCH Top Piece_Arc Wall" to make an extrusion offset from a curved surface. The error in the attached screenshot pops up when I try to do so.

Any ideas? All help is appreciated

Thanks in advance,

Hi all, In the attached part file, I'm trying to make an extrusion from "SKETCH Vert Wall"; however I get the error in the attached screenshot when I do so. This is particularly confusing because I made it a point to create the sketch where the edge of this new extrusion doesn't come in co...

Hi all, In the attached file, I created Coincident4, by mating the Top Planes of two iterations of one part, in an effort to align them in that regard.

Hi all, In the attached file, I'm trying to create a cut feature. Specifically, I'm looking to use the sketch "SKETCH Cut" to make a cut, up to surface, to "Cut Plane". I also only want the four outer contours selected, as shown in the screenshot. However, when I try this, I get ...

Ballfreak10

Hi all, The attached screenshot is the error message that I got when I tried to use a sketch to make an extruded cut offset from a curved surface. Could it be because the selected surface is curved? Also attached the file to the post. Any help/insight is appreciated :). Thanks in advance, image.png

@AlexLachance

I'm having trouble viewing the image you posted about the missing radius because it's such a tiny image. Would you mind providing a verbal description, or better yet, a larger image of the missing radius

?

Ballfreak10

Even when I uncheck Direction 2 and make sure it's in the right direction, the cut still doesn't execute.

...I apologize, but my screenshot simply will not paste onto this comment for some reason...

Hi all, In the attached file, SW is telling me that my sketch "SKETCH Middle Hole" has multiple open contours. Yet I can't find any upon inspecting, primarily because it's a fairly detailed sketch. It's also worth noting that I made this symmetric sketch by creating half and then doing a m...
