So I am working on designing a car to test air resistance for a school project, but I ran into a problem. I am putting the headlights on a curved surface, and using Wrap, and it resizes the sketch. Is there a way to lock the sketch so it will not get smaller around a curved surface?
Album here with pictures of it before and after I Wrap it
Thanks,
Kyle
You could make the sketch Fixed that way it won't move on you. just highlight the sketch and selected the fix button.
Is fix the same as repair? I can't seem to find the Fix button.
Antonio is talking about sketching and probably doesn't understand what you're asking.
For what you're describing you probably want to use a cut extrude with the end condition set to 'offset from surface' with 'translate surface' and 'reverse offset checked' instead of wrap.
Wrap preserves the lengths of curves, so the footprint of a wraped sketch is smaller on a curved face than on the flat plane it was drawn on..
Good luck.
Thanks that worked
No , fix constrain relation you can add to the sketch so it won't move it is an option when you edit the sketch. it looks like an anchor see pix. below
I found somewhere that I should project curve, but it says "The sketch is not suitable to create projected curve. It has more than one open/closed profiles.
Use a split-line instead
type g on the keyborad and use the magnifine glass to find your break.
yes - you have both headlights in one sketch - this will not work with project curve. as John suggests try split line instead.
