Sweeps

[ikinks]

Don't know how to explain it properly, so I'll post the family (work in progress). Have a look at it first, it's a concept of what should become a fan in the end. No, not a Take That fan, but something that blows a vast amount of air out of a building.

In the screenshot I've selected the sweep surrounding the opening and the angled extrusion. So far nothing's wrong, but if you change the angle ('dakhelling') you'll notice that the sweep doesn't follow because the length of the sweep path changes accordingly.

Is there a way to make this sweep actually work?

You forgot to set the workplane of the sweep to the top of your plate. I've rebuild the sweep and it should work now.

1. Used Set Workplane on the Refplane defining the top of your "dakhelling"
2. Used Pick edges to create the path
3. I quickly sketched the profile, you'll need to check that.
