Hi,
I've tried to search for this question a while now, but havent found anything so I'm creating a new thread for this one.
I'm trying to create a swept blend using a combination of three point curves and straight lines as the path and just 2 straight lines in an angle as the profile sweeping to another 2 straight lines (with another angle and length).
All I get is the unable to create form error.
I've done a few investigations now to find out what the problem is.
Here is what I've come up with:
1. If I do the path as a spline it works.
2. If I have the correct path and, instead of just 2 lines as a profile, have a closed surface with the same shape as my 2 lines. It works, but only with one profile at a time (thus making it just a sweep), but the 2 profiles work individually.
My path is a reference line and I've made sure I'm using the correct work plane when I draw my profiles. I've also made sure that when I transfer from the 3-point-curve to the straight line the straight line tangents the curve. However this shoulnd be a problem, right? Because if it didnt there would be a corner in the profile?
Does anyone have any idea as to what I'm doing wrong.
Please help me, Im going nuts.
