Is there a way to select more than one surface to shape a sheetmetal part to? I am in the process of drawing a boat and i want to draw my transom in to fit the side sheet,chine and bottom plate. Ive tried merging entities to create one body but because the sheetmetals are differant thicknesses its not working at least i think thats why. any thoughts
Dave
the resulting part would be the same thickness thru out. i am just trying to draw a line then use the base flange tab to extrude the part up to other parts. base flange tab will only let me pick one surface to profile to and i need to select more. attached is my first boat ever drawn. im learning
at the left view you will see a extrude feature. what i want is to do this in sheetmetal and have it fit the inside shape of the side sheet bottom and chine
thanks

Oh, I see - not what I thought you were asking for. I'm not a surfacing person so this may be off a bit, but how about offsetting the proper faces with a surface at 0 and then trimming that body with those surfaces.

So I have spoken to My solidworks support people and they inform me that it is not possible to select more than one face in sheetmetal! they suggest doing it in surfaces like wayne suggested. I made a request for them to add the ability to select more than one surface and if enough people vote for it we might see it happen.
Thank you

A sheet metal part has to be the same thickness throughout. In real life you can use laser welded tailored blanks, but not in SW.
