I am having issues completing this circular pattern. I have used solidworks for years and have never seen this error message. Things I have tried to resolve the issue: 1. Draw a centerline 2.turn on temporary axes 3.new reference geometry axis 4. Using the surface 5. turn off temporary axes. I do realize that I should be able to sketch this cut and do multiple revolves around my part (it has some complex surface curvature that needs attention), however this will cause alot more work, and with solidworks I have always found usually satisfying approaches to models. I just am unsure about this one. Someone please help me figure out my problem!? thanks again. 
Hi Jesse,
Ok I was able to get it to work. I actually just re-ordered the cut-revolve, surface and axis before the previous cut-revolve and it worked. Something in the order was causing it to fall over. Anyway I have attached so you can review.
