Creating Drawings Based on the Sum of two Plane Drawings

Need help? We are here.

Hi All,

I design parts for motorsport and have been testing various CAD software and so far shapr3d is, for me, more intuitive to achieve what I need, apart from one thing I am struggling with.

On Onshape there is a feature called “Projected Curve”, this option you select the sketches on two different planes and Projected Curve will create a line in 3D space that is the Sum of those two drawings.

My question is how do i achieve the same thing in Shapr3d? As designing motorsport parts that are very flowing, I require a fix to this or will put the brakes on a current project until I find a way or software that works in this way.

As in the image you can image a sum curve of the two drawings in 3D space that can then be used in a Loft.

Kind Regards,

This is what I am thinking about, for more clarity, thank you

Try to extrude from both sketches and then make intersection. One of the edges will be the line you need.

Hi thanks for the response, once those are extruded and intersect, can i then delete the bodies and be left with just the intersection line that can be used in a loft?

Kind Regards, Chris

You can delete the result body after you’ll use it.

Appologies, im new to Shapr3d. I have done as you explained, the blue line is the line i require to remain, how would you delete the body, but be left with this 3D line to use in a loft?

You can’t. Just use this edge where you need it. Then you can delete the body.

Ahh okay, I understand, thank you. A good work around
