Shibui Design Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Hello- I'm trying to do an axial sweep and keep getting an error. The entire error doesn't display, so it's not helpful. I've tried reversing the direction of the path and set first points on both path and sweep profile and nothing seems to work. Any solutions? sweep error.tiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shibui Design Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 I finally got it to sweep. Not sure what I did differently, but eventually it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shibui Design Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 Had to re-sweep the problematic profile again and received the error message again. Now, no matter what I try, it will not sweep. File attached. sweep error.fmz.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Hi ENV, Previously we should have remembered to always suggest using the Object Doctor if you are having geometry problems. From this we can see that there are zero length segments: Breaking the curves at the problem lines we can delete the bad parts: Then just Draw with Insert: Click at the first point, double click at the second point -- do it again, and now you have a proper shape you can sweep successfully. Does that help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
