Create a pattern or parameter sketches in differents planes and rotation

chrisvargsch — Mon, 27 Apr 2020 03:47:26 GMT

How i can create a patter or paramenter to duplicate a sketch but in differents planes upwards axis Z. Within 15 degress of rotation and each plane 5 mm apart. This can be doing with components. But i dont know how to do it with sketches. The picture you see i got it copy and the using move but its very slow and its not parametric. I want to change the angle of rotation like i want easily.

when I want to use a sketch profile in multiple locations in a model, I make a surface patch of it and move/copy the patch as needed. the edges and surface can be used in the same way as lines and profiles in the original sketch, and the shape stays linked to the original sketch.

Like this?

Component is Copy Paste New.

Parameter to change spacing, and rotation angle

Thanks for the video i got it! Creating components with only inside the sketch and then use joint with the parameters. I will use surface like the 2do commentary may be its faster.

i found a problem you can see in the picture when i change the angle to negative. You know what happen? All its perfect but this detail is bothering me

Can not say why, maybe profile detection error, Loft error, I don’t think it is parameter error.

Blue lines in sketches. See pics in your messages above.

Did you click drag part of middle sketch (is fully constrained now?)

Might help...

that's a lofting error. sometimes loft can't figure out the right "from this point to that point" conditions. you can fix it during the loft creation by dragging around the control points (forget what they're called)

but they may need to be fixed each time you mess with parameters

better to add sketch lines to use as rails in the loft command.-

They are called mapping handles, that are not always available in my experience.

Sweep with twist, would likely avoid it too, but that is not going to fix a Loft error.
