this refers to my turbo post from last week that no one responded too...go to that post for pics
i have a path...a profile at each end...the profiles are circles with different diameters...when the path is at the center of both circles my loft won't work the way i want it to workt.... when the guide curve is coincident to the circumfrence solidworks understands what i am doing... solidworks i think considers circles as having 4 points....and each point needs to be controlled by a path, if you want to vary the dimension of the circle....if i use one guide curve i can only control a quarter of the circle....does this mean if i want to go from one profile to the next i need to have 4 guide curves???
the sketh of the path is 3D....how do I make an offset of my 3d sketch? copy the entire sketch and tranlate it???
i have one perfect path...and i just want the damn circle to vary it's diameter as it travels through the path....it seems like i need curves for this....which means i need to make more 3d curves??? i just want to write a damn equation...in pro/e terms (maybe someone knowns both packages and help me make the transition from this type of relation).... d1=1+trajpar*10 ...DONE...how the hell does solidworks do that??? it seems like it only does it by me making a bunch of guide curves.... any help out there???? i have it working but i mean...4 guide curves and 2 profiles is not what i would call and intelligent model...i'm looking for a more efficient way....tips, tricks???
