Issue with Sweep function

Hello!

 

I am trying to make cornices for a building, but I can not sweep cornice shape along building perimeter path. It gives error codes 108028 and 84026. I have been looking for a solution for a long time, but I can not find one. When I am trying to sweep a cornice shape (made of some smaller parts) along the path it leaves some (randomly chosen) cornice parts behind with error codes. If I am trying to sweep these cornices on some other path it works well most of the times. I also made some random path that looks similar to the building perimeter and it has similar issue on it aswell.

 

I sliced up the cornice, because it has different colors on each side and it would be easier to render it afterwards. However if I draw only outlines of these cornices and try to sweep them, it still does not work.

 

I also made a screencast and attached my AutoCad file so you could see the issue yourself.

 

Thanks,

Mattias

Hi,

 

I have first created one polyline as profile instead a group of polylines (which also result in overlapping faces).
Then I used command _EXTRUDE with option _PATH instead of _SWEEP and got that result...

Does that work for you too?

Thanks, that seems like an option but there is no way to set the base point in extrude function. So it does not fit perfectly around the building perimeter. I think it is possible to calculate and scale the path a little bit so it could fit 

(I do not know how perfectly), but maybe there is some easier solution. Since I have many cornices, I have to calculate every path separately. I am trying to do this, but I am open to other solutions as well.

 

Working with one polyline as cornice would be okay too, I think. I could just slice these afterwards if I want to.

Edit: I measured the size between cornice geometric center and the side that should be on wall. Then I created an offset of building perimeter path with the same size and sweeped cornice along it. It still does not fit perfectly, but it is is at least a little bit better and I could use this if I do not find any other solution for my problem.

 

I am still looking for solutions for this problems, because it is still not good enough.
