Hi all After projecting a curve on a complex surface, I must do a swept material removal (which follows the course of the projected curve). If the profile of my material removal is circular, no problem, I select this option, indicate the diameter and the scanning is carried out without difficulty. On the other hand, if the profile is no longer circular, I have to define a profile perpendicular to a point in the trajectory. The question then arises of defining a plane perpendicular to a point on the plot. How to do this?
When scanning with a circular section, SW 2016 shows 2 connections on the strong line scan. I used one of these sections to project it onto a 3D sketch to define a plane that I assume is perpendicular at this point to define the profile of the desired scan. Unfortunately an error occurs and a message tells me that "the scan operation has not been completed"
I can't seem to solve this problem and all your advice and opinions will be welcome.
Thank you for your answers. Unfortunately it is not possible for me to open the gt22 file because I am working with SW 2016. It's a shame because I would be curious to know his solution and especially to understand why with a circular material removal, there is no problem, and why it gets stuck when drawing the material removal.
However in the PDF I don't understand how sketch 3 is positioned, Moreover I don't want a circular shape but an isosceles V-shaped groove. Also, in the Scan function options, what does "Specify a direction vector" mean in Twist Profile? A big thank you to both of you.
Thank you again for this answer. The goal is to place a cylindrical rod in this groove on a part made on a 3D printer. Despite all your explanations, there is one element that escapes me on the first instruction, namely "The 3D sketch is the conversion of the projected sketch" I understand this, but I can't understand or do I have to draw the sketch that will be projected? On what plane? and what shape should I draw? For the rest, I think I have understood the procedure.
To answer your question, the choice of the V-shaped groove comes from the fact that the rod should only protrude a few tenths of a mm from the face and for the moment this value is not perfectly known. Concerning the route to obtain this V-groove, I still stumble over the creation of the plan. For the first element, the choice of the point is not a problem, but for the next 2 choices, I don't know how I can use my 3D sketch (see attached file). I am very sorry that I do not understand this procedure. Kind regards.
all you have to do is select your 3D sketch in 2 refs that seems open????????????????
me personally in general
I press the Ctrl key
I select the sketch and the point in this order, the plane, this direct fact

Create plans
You can create plans in part or assembly documents. You can use these planes to sketch, to create a section view of a model, for a neutral plane in a draft feature, and so on.
In the PropertyManager, select an entity for First Reference . The software creates the most logical plan based on the entity you select. Select options under First Reference, such as Parallel, Perpendicular, and so on. to edit the plan.
To clear references, click the item in First Reference , and then click Delete.
Select a Second Reference and a Third Reference as required to define the plan.
The Message box indicates the status of the plan. The state of the plan must be Fully Constrained to be created.
Click .
You can also press CTRL + drag an existing clip to create a new offset clip of the existing clip.
To change the names of the construction plans in the current document, double-click, pausing between clicks, the plan name in the FeatureManager Design Tree and type a new name. When you create additional building plans, be sure to give them new names that indicate their purpose.
A big thank you for your patience, I have finally been able to create this damn plan, which I was doing very badly. I'm now able to create the V-shaped groove. With all my thanks.
I'm coming to you because I think I have the same problem that mbrel34 encountered... However, I can't seem to solve mine!
In my case, I have a volume (handling ear) from an extrusion (so far so good). Under this extrusion, I want to round (to match the profile of a lifting eye).
However, it is impossible to do an extrusion of material by sweeping... The profile I give doesn't seem correct (on the other hand the "circular profile" option in the function works very well; look for the error).
I'll put you a screen of the problem, and a photo of the real part to better visualize.
PS: I managed to do what I wanted otherwise: with the Leave function... However, my piece is 120mm thick, and the ring has an Øint of 140mm... This forces me to do an extruded material removal at the end.
