Boundary surface glitch?

mark vasquez May 6, 2009 1:15 PM

ok so i have this model I am creating, like many many before I am using a boundary suface to create the basic shape.
The boundary surface is telling me I cannot use a mix of curves but yet I have created the curves the same way as I always do every single time. I use 2 sketches projected to create the top curve and 2 sketches projected to create the bottom curve. then I use 3d curves as the guide curves to control the shape.

I am using swx2008

How about you post a part?

By 3D curves I guess you mean 3D sketches?

Can you get the exact wording or a screen shot of the error?

Are the curves in the 2 direction intersecting the curves in the 1 direction? Can you post your part or a simplified version?

  Yes Matt I do mean 3d sketches and they are attaced to the 2 curves I created. for some reason I am not being allowed to post the part file as an attachment. Is there another way of posting?
  
  Matt the error says boundary feature curves must all be closed or all be open mixed cases are not allowed. the funny thin is they were both created exactly the same way.

    Mark,
    
    You have to zip the part, assembly or drawing file first before you can post it. You can also post an image as a .jpg.
    
    The error message sounds like you have a problem with the set of curves for one direction, that one curve is closed (like a complete circle) and another is open (like and arc).

      all set, thanks for the replies gentlemen.. i just changed the sketches by fitting the splines in each to be closed
