Multiple Paths Sweep and multiply objects along the multipath along a given dist

Multiple Paths Sweep and multiply objects along the multipath along a given dist

These two features would be interesting to construct rollercoaster rails. The multi path sweep for the rails, and the multiplication of objects for the cross braces. Another interesting thing would be the ability to import splines from No Limits Coaster 2 to create a rollercoaster track.

If I understand you correctly, Inventor can already do both of these things. For "multiple path sweep", you don't need multiple paths to sweep roller coaster rails. Simply create a 2D sketch with the rails' profiles, then create a 3D sketch with a path and guide rail, and sweep the two profiles along the path, using the  guide rail to control twist. Inventor can also pattern objects along a path at a given spacing.

 

Do you have experience using Inventor? If you're not sure how to do these things, you can ask for help in the Inventor forum here: Inventor Forum.

Thanks for the tip, but I've tried it with exactly this method several times, but unfortunately without success.
I've been working with inventor almost every day since 2009 to create models for 3D printing.
