New to cad, trying to create a model to 3d a part for my cars headlight. I need to create this 5mm thick slope that has varying degrees.
It needs to pretty much the exact opposite of this loft.
What would be the best way to achieve this? I cant seem to find a way to do it. Thanks!
Sorry, maybe it is just late in the day, but I am having a hard time figuring out what "pretty much the exact opposite of this loft" means. Do you have a photo of the actual thing you are trying to create? I suspect Loft is the answer, in some way, but it's hard to say without a bit more info
No worries, hopefully this a bit more clear. This is the headlight im making the part for.
The part would clip onto the black plastic rim around the headlight. Here is the general profile im trying to achieve, except the angle changes as you go around the circle.
Thanks. Here is a first attempt. I only used 2 profiles (all that is needed for a Centerline Loft):
so, 1 sketch for the centerline circle, 1 sketch for the two profiles, and a centerline Loft:
Looks like I have a subsequent problem, I sketched out the design as you described with the correct dimensions after measuring but the loft seems to deform. The loft preview looks as intended (first picture) but when I create the loft it has these strange twists and turns (second picture). @jeff_strater
