polygon works but circle won't sweep correctly

Post by JussyAD »

https://we.tl/t-sYp1EaO16t

I was not able to upload the file but there is a link above. No need for an account.

Is there a reason why the polygon sweeps perfectly but the circle simply won't do it?

Please help!

you must use PartWb for Sweeps
you have to draw the sketches in a place where they are as well as possible perpendicular to the path
use the edge of the volume (like sole) as a path and leave Frenet = false

even when I use your sketch to sweep the edge I get a messed up result. :(
What am I doing wrong? I used PartWB.

Both faces are working. But adjust your deviation parameter lower (under 0,5) to get a nice result.
Check the curve continuity as well, your curve is not here (with Comb from curves wb)

deviation parameter was the problem. I set it to 0.45 and now I can see the full sweep!!! :D Thank you.
