Hi,
In a -complex enough - part, I am using a surface1 and surface2, twice extruded with sketch1 and 2.
If I want to change sketch2 to sketch3, for using the surface2, how can I do that ?
Of course, I would keep the surface2 name, and all constructions done with surface2, behind the scene.
A joined file to illustrate the problem, but without any sequence behind the scene, using surface2.
Good morning Philippe,
Right click on the sketch feature in the feature manager tree and select edit sketch plane,
Later,
John
Hi,
How the edit sketch plane, a feature to change the plane of a 2D sketch, can involve a changing of sketch to build my surface2 ?
Btw, sketch2 and 3 are living in the same plane, but the surface2 isn't living in the same 2D "space", since sketch 2 and 3 are totally different.
Basically, what I want to do is just a parametric change, for this surface2.
My BIG present problem is that if I change the content of sketch2, all lines and others will be deleted, and all relations built behind the scene with the surface2 will be in a huge red list.
Philippe,
I haven't opened up your model, but based on what you are describing what I would do is delete
the feature for sketch 2 and then like John said RC on sketch 3 and select the surface you need.
Finally, I found how to work with this kind of situation : I don't delete the spline in sketch2, but I change it in Construction Geometry.
I built another spline in sketch2, I make it fixed, I add merge relations with the first spline, I delete the second spline, and I rechange the Construction Geometry option.
Some Sioux' stratagem needed, but that don't add a huge red list, behind the scene, with this surface.
Philippe,
I'm a little confused about how you solved your problem. It sounds like you took your original spline and made it construction geomeotry. You made another spline that had the shape you wanted for the new surface. The next part is where I get a little fuzzy. I think you moved your original spline points and tangency handles to match the new spline. Then you deleted the second spline and changed the "original" spline to non-construction. Is that correct?
If that is correct, it's not clear to me why you didn't just modify the original spline to have the shape you wanted, without making another spline.
