Hello, i would like your help please.
I am trying to improve the way to create a surface around a cilinder following a variable path. for example 40° going down 10° horizontal around then 15° going down.
I am using the helical sweep protusion tool, so, there is a pitch that brings a datum plane perpendicular to the trajectory (40° going down), a sketch that simulate the profile of the desired surface and an angle respect to the Top DTM, them the surface created need to do an horizontal travel (10°) around the cilinder but the section at this point is not the same as the begining of the helical surface (the machine tool keeps its angle respect to the Top DTM) it is not possible to take a vertical section to do a revolve.
Finally another helical sweep protusoin tool , the same pitch for the last 15° going down with the same profile as the begining.
For a better idea please see the attached image.
I have tryied using the wrap tool, but refences get lose.
