vertical horizons Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 How would you create a flexible hose? I don't mean that the hose has to be able to flex. I mean that it should resemble a hose. When I use the SWEEP command, the hose looks like piping, because you can see lines where the line bends. I know where I want the hose to start & stop. It just doesn't look much like a hose. Is this possible to create with Solidworks? Or, maybe turn off those 'bend' lines, so that it might look more like a hose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevsmith Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Use a spline instead of the line command to create your path. This will remove the tangent edge lines at the bends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
