Re: Revolved Cut Issue

What does the sketch represent? Is it a section view thru a cut at that position like shown in red? If so then you could do the revolve by developing the section in the blue. image.png Or do you want something like this where it's more of a swept path which can't be done with a revolve? image.png I...

Re: Revolved Cut Issue

Yes, but it appears that you still used an axis located on the same plane as the sketch you revolved it around. In my picture, the sketch of the square that you see (the thing I want to revolve cut with) is NOT a bisecting plane, meaning that the central axis of the part (the construction line you s...

Re: Revolved Cut Issue

Yes, as I stated, the sketch plane does not bisect the part. The problem is that the sketch that I need to revolve cut is not normal to the surface of the cylinder. I'm having trouble figuring out how to make this cut happen given that design requirement.

Revolved Cut Issue

Hi all. I am trying to do a simple revolve cut and Solidworks is telling me that "The line defining the axis is not valid." I'm not really sure what this is all about. In the attached picture, the sketch plane that I have sketched on is NOT through the center of the part; it is offset from...

Re: Derived Median Plane

That is what I want to do, except I'm trying to do it in the MBD format.

Derived Median Plane

Hi all. I am trying to figure out how to add a flatness tolerance to a thin plate so I can establish a derived median plane flatness tolerance in MBD. Solidworks will not let me do this. I keep trying to attach the GD&T feature control frame to the thickness tolerance but it will not let me. It ...
