"Solid Sweep" with Simple and Complex solids

[T_A_Smith2]

 Is there something I am missing? I can sweep simple solids(cut) through another however, when trying to with a more complex shape, Fusion accepts the Dialog input without error, but does not execute the action.

For instace in this example file I tested sweep cutting through the large block with the smaller objects. I used a vertical corner as the path.

Hi,

what do you want to achieve?

It seems if you want to sweep into the block, it does not like to use the corner as a path.  Add a simple path and it seems to work OK.  Model attached.

the edge of the solid works as a path when both bodies are in the same component.  both of these solutions seem quirky to me.

Hi! Solid Sweep is relatively sensitive to the tool orientation and the path. It is better to locate the tool at the start of the path so that the result would be easier to understand.

Many thanks!
