I want to make a surface "tapered" to the surface(shown below) in Solidworks. I tried to use sweep tool, but the section is twisted, and doesn't remain the given angle to the surface. It is easy to achieve in Creo, as we can control the orientation of the section.
I found a tool called "normal to surface" in Ruled surface in Solidworks, it is close to what I want. But I really want a specified angle to the surface.
Someone have an idea on this? Please let me know, appreciate.
3D is attached.
Hi,
You could try using the loft tool but sketch more profiles to control the angle around the perimeter.
Thanks, Kyle
EDIT - I've came across needing this myself, anything in SW will be a work around, there is no direct tool to do this. Ruled surface can taper to a vector but not to a surface.
I also used another software to do it.
