[B.Leeraert1225]

Dear All,

I have question about a sweep.

I choice the profile and than the path a 3D sketch I cane only choice for orientation with path.

Cane any body tell me how cane I solve this problem?

Zip and attach your part here. What version of Inventor are you using.

[B.Leeraert1225]

Did you try this option when doing the sweep? If not. delete
the sweep feature and try the option.

I can't follow your construction workflow very well. This part
workflow appears to be way more complicated than needed

Dear Dennis,

Yes I try that but that is also not working.

What think I must change for maked easyer.

The part must comming into I-logic that I cane change the measuring you cane see it I have make my own user parameters for changing.

I would look at remodeling the part using less sketches and a
more streamlined workflow. If it does not work correctly (the sweep)  now,
then it is certainly not going to work with iLogic.

Is something like this what you are after?

[B.Leeraert1225]

Hallo JD Mather,

Thats what I mean with the 90 degree but if you look to the 3D sketch then you see that all the 4 beams off the rail are bended.

Dear Dennis Jeffrey,

Thit you have looking to the model of do you have a sugestion how I can best start with the model.

Best regards,

Bjorn Leeraert

After sleeping on this one I think I can work out the solution, but before I spend a couple of hours on it (I will have to start over since it was a bit convoluted) I need assurance that you intend to pursue this to the end solution.

Dear JD,

If you give me a good suggestion that I can start with the part then it's also good.

This one is going to be difficult, but I think I have a rather elegant solution in mind. I'm right in the middle of a big job right now and it will be a day or two before I can test out my idea. I just don't want to spend a lot of time on something and find out that you weren't really interested in my solution.

[B.Leeraert1225]

Dear JD

I am reale interest in your solution now I am stocking with construction the part.

Wath for work are you doing and wath you make with Inventor.

>Wath for work are you doing and wath you make with Inventor.

I don't make anything anymore. I worked in industry for 15 years, mostly plastics and military electro-mechanical.

I am a professor now and my final grades are due tomorrow 10 AM for the students to graduate on Sat.

Dear JD

Nice to now that your a prof.

I have looking full interest to yours website.

I have seen, I cane learn a lot of your website and it is full with education.

I waiting for your answere and good luck with your students.

[JDMather]

Is this closer to what you are after?

[JDMather]

Just realized I was missing one of the R2 fillets on the previous part.

[B.Leeraert1225]

Dear JD,

Thats what I searching for.

Thanks.

Cane you also telling what you have don I cane not see it.

It's now a step file and not the ipt file.

Regards

Bjorn

I found another little problem with that last R2 fillet. This one turned out to be much more difficult than it initially looks. I have to clean it up a little bit and then it will take a bit of work to explain the steps. I would be interested in alternate solutions done by others here as well.
