In this piece, I''m trying to sweep a curve so that makes a nice concave wall for my blender, but despite months of trial and error (and procrastinating) I just cannot figure out how to get it to work. Can someone give me a detailed guide on what I'm doing wrong because the deadline for my project is soon. Thanks in advance!
Can you post your part of how far you've gotten so far.
I'm also having trouble with the piece on top, I want the area inside that circle to be cut but "Extrude Cut" won't remove the curved wall. Thank you for being willing to help
Hi Kieran,
You will do better to attach your part file here as described in #18 of Forum Posting, that way people can actually look at the part and the processes and see what has been done and what may need to be done. The link will be too vague for members to work with and most won't follow it anyhow.

..here's a sweep and boundary,.. is this what you're trying to do?
(btw, if you want to trim/cap the ends, you'd need to extend the edges)
Kieran,
To get the ends of your blender you can use a boundry surface, selecting the end edge of surface-sweep1 & the concave edge of Sketch 6. You will need to use the contour select tool to pick the single line of your sketch. Then do the same for the opposite end, bear in mind sketch 6 will now be part of the new boundry surface & you will need to show it for the opposite end. The reason you can't cut the body of your blender with the extrude cut is that you have a mixture of solid & surface bodies. You can use the surface trim command & trim the surface body with your solid body as the cutting tool.
Thanks for the help Kevin. You solved a problem that I've been procrastinating for 3 months!
