How Do I Route an Edge?

Post by rebeltaz »

Is there a way that IO can route sketch002 about the left, front and right side of the Additive Loft? Or is there another way to get the same result?

Hi.. Thanks you for replying. What I need, though, is for that profile cut from the front face as well as the two sides. Is that possible?

the front face woudt be a second sketch

mirroring is not the best you can simply draw the 2 shapes on one sketch

OK... so there's no simple, one-step process for something like this similar to the [Follow Me] tool in Sketchup? I know people hate that program, but man a lot of things are easier in Sketchup! Thanks.

OK... I figured it out. Maybe I shouldn't CAD and drink :)

I created a second sketch as a path around the object and did a [Subtractive Pipe] along the second path. Thanks everyone for your help.
