Scanning an outline made with a spline and using guide curves

3D Design Volume Model

Hello

By  scanning a profile made with a spline and using guide curves, the scan is applied to an outline defined by straight lines obtained between the spline points.

So I lose the definition of the basic profile.

 

Do you know why?

 

Thank you

Hello

 

Why not go for a smoothed boss/base?

Hello Stéphane,

Your initial sketch (profile) must be "homotetic"; that is to say that it is only deformed by its endpoints and not its internal points.

You need to go back to the profile sketch and check the "homotetic" property if you're in Solidworks. If it's another piece of software, it might be called "proportional" or something similar.

See you

Chris

Thank you for your answers

 

Indeed, with a smoothing no problem, it works.

Otherwise thank you for the proportional pipe. I didn't know about this option and had never paid attention to it. It works, I just tried.

 

Thank you for your collaboration
