Dear Dodo and/or Flamengo,
I am trying to make a beam structure for the shown box. I have added some beams to give you an idea of my intentions. There are a lot more beams to follow. The dark blue beams and the box are now drawn as separate Bodies in Part Design WB. Rather complicated and a lot of work.
Therefore, I am trying to learn Dodo / Flamengo.
But I am getting stuck after many hours of trying. Including watching and reading tutorials. So I am asking your advice.
A first item that goes wrong is this:
If I select the single top edge (actually 3 edges touching each other - a U-shape) where the row of beams is to be placed, this is the result:
What can I do to make the single top edge valid only?
(More issues to follow, e.g. about makeing the beams longer etc. ) (one at a time)
Model attached: test.fcstd

Re: Dodo & Flamengo troubles
Well, Papyblaise,
In my case the Box made in PartWB does not like my Dodo either. See attached file.
Note that I selected only 1 edge for being Dodoed.

Re: Dodo & Flamengo troubles
Realy what is your question : you ask for a profil along an edge and you show us 47 structures , sorry
If you need sweep Flangebar along the side of the box , choise the inside one , because outside are B-spline (cause thichness) , you know B-spline and Fc is an other story

Re: Dodo & Flamengo troubles
I am showing that Dodo produces 48 beams, whereas I instruct Dodo and Flamengo to yield only 1.
I know the sweep technology, and there are other solutions too, but I am interested to use Dodo or Flamengo instead.
Perhaps a Dodo/Flamengo expert could advise here?

It's Flamingo, not Flamengo.
