Error: The rails do not intersect all profiles

Anonymous
Not applicable

I am new to the whole 3D CAD community. 

 

I am trying to create a shoe last in Fusion 360.  Currently I am trying to model the back/heel part using Loft and Rails.  The profiles select but when adding the rails the error message displays "2 Error(s): The rails do not intersect all profiles"

 

I watched various screencasts in this forum on loft and rails, tried to apply that to what I am doing but with no success.  I used the 'Intersect' command to intersect the two profiles to the three splines I am using as rails .  (Each spline point snapped to the purple dots on the top and bottom profile)

 

Are you able to see something that I might be doing wrong in the attached screencast?

 

Is there something about the bottom profile shape that is unable to use the rails?

since I work  with fusion the sketch engine suffers from such problems

this dates back quite s long time

 

it seems however we - users that use those functions in Fusion are in

the minority and thus do not get the attention for development to fix

thise sketch engine issues 

 

 

I would suggest to make your concern more known by the fusion team so

that they see that not few people only need those common must have foundational

sketch engine tools to work vs what AD thinks engineers only work with.

 

I understand their reasoning but the current course prevents everybody that needs

to design something that uses more complex sketch tools form using fusion

in a successful way which is pretty sad considering how amazing the rest of Fusion is.

 

 

in my furniture design class Fusion is amazing - in my industrial design course fusion is

to be honest sufficient for prototypes but it cannot compete with anything else on

the market.

 

and fixing few areas would enable it actually to do so like with improving loft and the sketch engine.

it is only a bottleneck issue.

@Anonymous: Wow - your are really using a lot profiles with a lot points in the splines.
