Hi, this is my first post and I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. I’m trying to do a sweep between 2 objects, one is smaller and other bigger. I’m marking both faces + guide line and it is constantly showing fault “Swept body has self-intersection in at least 1 of it’s geometries…
Here is link from my screen recording from loom, if anybody could help?
You could use a loft operation then use then use the shell tool.
Your sweep is failing because the arcs your created did not make an enclosed sketch. A closed sketch can be made into a body. If it is not enclosed (enclosed if it turns a light blue) it won’t revolve, sweep or extrude.
I cannot see your video. However I think I can still help. I suggest you create a “Plane : on a point on a curve” on one of those circular edges. Then select the plane to sketch your profile onto. Then it should sweep.
Sweep doesn’t work that way. In its simplest form, sweep works with a sketch, like a circle, perpendicular to a line or spline. It does not work between two circles. What does work between two circles is Loft however since you want a curved conical wall between both of your surfaces, you should use Revolve.
