Can anyone help me with this.
I am trying to create a handle that is part of a scanner body and I made my curves using a 3D sketch. When I try and make either a loft or boundary surface, I try and grab just one curve in my 3d sketch, but it wants to grap the entire 3D sketch. How do I select just 1 curve for my profile. I tried the rigfht mouse click, selection filter, but it grabs the enitre 3d sketch too.
Can anyone help ?
Have you tried right click on the "air" and use SelectionManager?
Search "Selectionmanager" (one word) in your help file.
yes I have and I also have tried the selction filter at the bottom of the screen. In Pro-e you can do it all in ISDX. You can create the curves and the surface under one umbrella, it's called a super feature and I am wondering if you can do that in SW ?
Suggestions ?
not exactly it, try making a 3d frame and then do a surface... close though
Can you post an example?
here is a 3d sketch in Pro-e what I'm talking about. In solidworks I created the curves in a 3d sketch and I want to make a surface. When i pick 1 side to make a surface, it grabs the entire sketch how do I pick just one side at a time, I tried the property manamger and it won't work
Do you have 4 segments inside your 3DSketch? If not, you need to split them before using Selectionmanager. Video to follow shortly.
yes they are 4 segments
Remember, you can pin the SM so that you don't have to keep opening it every time you want to use it. Also you can RMB confirm thru multiple selections and lastly, SM comes up automatically if you pick a 3D sketch which contains more than one entity for selection in most commands like loft, boundary, sweep etc.
