Need to sweep or revolve

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi all,

I'm having problems working out how to sweep or cut the face in the picture to be the same as the others, 2mm at one end and then down to be level with the face. I don't want to pattern it as the other two are not quite correct.

Any tips greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

A bit tricky, it's Sweep with rail and surface, 

 

You need to construct the path by extracting the edge of a triangular coil, 

Select the rectangle profile to cut, the coil edge as the path and one of the flat top / bottom surfaces to keep it flat.

You will see from second pic, I used the face of my block at the time of the pic,

but you need to sketch an oversized rectangle for the profile, to avoid the artifact on the outside face,

 

Might help...

if you find the coil method tedious, you might try this method of creating a path for the sweep

Or delete the bit that is wrong and pattern the bit that is correct.
