Hi, I have two edges either side of a blade and I'd like to run a sweep of a sketch along between the two edges.
See image
Can anyone assist me with how to do this please?
I have highlight one edge, the other is the opposite side and you can see the sketch which is a simple arc that I would like to run the full length between the two paths.
Thanks
Your need to attach your model so the Forum users can look at something other than a picture. If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.

I've looked at all the geometry and sketches in your design and to me it looks like you are experimenting with workflows rather than just outright designing the object.
My suggestion would be to start completely from scratch with a design with an enabled timeline.
It looks like you've tried this a number of times already ...

Whenever someone says this, it's a sure sign that they do, indeed, need to start over.
not exactly sure what your trying to do. one thing I see is that your profile sketch isn't actually on the face of the object-
minute errors like this will eat your lunch when trying to do things in fusion. there's to much going on in the model for me to tell how it got like this.
also, the edges you're proposing to use for the sweep are made of many tiny little segments, and have horrible curvature quality. that will be problematic also.-
Something that would help is to have an image of how you envision this to look like.
Then it is also important to know if this is "only" foe visualization, or if you intend to manufacture this in some way.
If you want to "make" it, then we need to keep that in the forefront right from the beginning!
Thanks Guys, sorry if I seem frustrated at times. I know what I want to do in my head but because I'm such an amature...!
To give you an idea, it's meant to look somethign like this when finished but obviously the front edge will be flush with the shown mesh surface and I need to clean up the rear of the blade so it ties in nicely.
Give you an idea though...it's a small blade on the rear of the car spoiler to extend it back and up slightly.
I've used a section sketch technique to reverse engineer the spoiler, then copy/rotated it into place. I've then cut away the original spoiler to form the underside profile. I now jsut need to get the top surface fitting correctly and tidy up the rear of the blade without changing the profile too much along the back edge... Hope that all makes sense...
Nope! I did not see that you were trying to re-create from a scanned Mesh.
It makes no sense to create that many mesh section sketches.
The scan is missing the most important surface, the interface to the vehicle!
I'm sorry I do not understand what you are saying..?
I have to create that many cross sections in order to capture the detail of the surface as I will use this surface to cut the contact surface of the body I am creating. It needs to be highly accurate in order to create a perfect contact surface.
See the latest model attached.
I was next going to use the 'Loft' to create both a solid copy that will form the basis of the extension and a surface copy so that I can cut away, creating the profile to which I can attach the extension to the original.
Am I going about this all wrong??
