Need help with simple revolve

Post by lemonbug »

Hiya-

Two-part question here. First, how do I set the distance between both sides of my shape so it is equidistant at all points? I want there to be 6mm between the upper and lower line and curves. It looks like the curves get narrower at one point to me.

Second, when I tried to reolved this 180 deg it says revolved axis intersects sketch.

Thanks, j

Hi, for the first problem give the two arcs a coincident constraint.
When you rotate you get a warning and in the sketch you can see that it intersects while rotating so fix an edge to the Y-axis and that problem is also solved
