Use a Planar Surface to Define the Sweep Plane
Profile Structure Design
Define the sweep plane based on a planar face selected from a model. The cursor is constrained to the sweep plane. Profile sweep is performed in the sweep plane when a point has been selected as the position for the cross-section.
- Start adding a profile.
- Click the starting point of the profile.
- Click the planar face as sweep plane with following button: Plane of profile sweep (with face).
- Select a planar face from the model.
- Click the end point of the profile.
Note:
- Instead of clicking the button, press the Shift+N keys when the cursor is over the planar face.
- You can undo the sweep plane of the profile defined above, for example
- By clicking again the button and selecting another planar surface.
- By selecting another auxiliary function.
- By pressing the U key or selecting the context-sensitive function: Constraint > X axis.
- By pressing the I key or selecting the context-sensitive function: Constraint > Y axis.
- By pressing the O key or selecting the context-sensitive function: Constraint > Z axis.
