Fusion 360 sweep command

using the sweep command to cut/extrude a lip around a edge

That is something you should be able to do with a sketch profile and a path. Let us know if you are running into issues.

Here is a quick way to do this:

start with a body:

Then, create a workplane along path, along the outer (or inner, depending on the lip you are creating) edge:

This will result in a plane that is aligned with the outer lip:

Create a sketch on this plane, and add the geometry of your lip.  In my example, I want to remove some material, so a rectangle that overlaps the edge will do:

Then use Sweep, selecting your lip profile and the outer edge of your body as the path:

and OK will create your lip:

Hope this helps you get started.

Hi Jeff
Thanks for the answer.

thank you, and yes there is an issue :

when the Path of the sweep is not perfectly horizontal, then the Profile rotates causing a very undesirable lip groove. This might be some Sweep settings , but I tried all.

So , is there any idea how to make the Profile preserve its orientation ?

Thank you.

A couple of offset surfaces should do the trick.

Or maybe an split and presspull (I didn't try this one).

Can you attach your *.f3d file here?

Is something like attached what you are after?  (I think I did wayyy too much work, but I am busy with other stuff to refine the solution.)

Hi,

Please explain this using a concrete example so that hints for the solution can be developed.
It is best to start a new topic.
