miroslav_s Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Hi, I need someone to explain to me what this means: "The sweep results in self-intersecting Surface". I am trying to use sweep command on some lines but I get this message after failing. See the link: http://prntscr.com/2qbwk0 thanks for explaining it to me. Best regards to you all, Miro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Simple terms....you have some geometry that crosses itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miroslav_s Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Is there any command or search option to apply so that I can find where the crossings are? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Not that I am aware of. You'll just have to take a closer look at your 2D geometry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD Mather Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Remove everything else. Attach the file with your profile and path here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSasu Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 What entity so you want to sweep? If is a closed polyline, then select it and in Properties parse its nodes to see where is the issues. Again, it will be much better to post your picture here since some people (me included) will be reluctant to go to such shared repositories to see them.

miroslav_s Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Well first of all so you know: I tried to attach my drawing here with this post put could not do it because it would never attach and I waited and waited (http://prntscr.com/2qfi6z ) as you can see so I had to put it in my dropbox public folder for you to be able to download it. I am sorry for this Here is the file if someone will look at it: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8906158/sweep%20command%20problem.dwg PS: you will se the little circle that I drawn which I would like to use for the sweep command. Those 6 splines represent "the cables" Hope this will help. I am thankful for all the help and of course thank you in advance.

ReMark Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Is it possible you have a "kink" in your cable caused by two splines overlapping or a curve that is so sharp the circle you are trying to sweep would fold back on itself? The file size limits here for AutoCAD drawings preclude the uploading of some 3D drawings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I have to work on my taxes this morning but if I get a chance I'll take a look at your drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
