Basic question about offset plane on sketch in Inventor 2014

Recommended Posts

I am still new for learning how to work with plane in sketch. I forgot to offset plane until i finished this close profile show in blue, is there a way that i can move the close blue profile up to the red profile where it supposes to be? if not what other solution i can do? thanks for advice.

You could do that in several ways, but I recommend not creating any extra geometry.

Thanks for quick reply JD, busy at the moment I will learn the way you did.

As you get more experience you can find clever ways to simplify geometry - see this revision.

 

You will never see me create a workplane if the Origin workplanes can be used.

Oh Wow! you have used revolved tool, i am not that far yet but this is one of the tool that i want to get into in nearly future. That's awesome on sketch 2 that you have simplified them, i was thinking about it but i had a tough time to extrude them since they are not on the same plane. Hope i get there some day.

I had a hard time extruded the profile under the cylinder hole, i pick the closed profile but it won't let me extrude, Is this something to do with shared sketch?

why the blue profile didn't project to where the red profile where it need to be? Should i offset the plane?

Sketch1 is not fully constrained. I recommend you start here

(actually, it is Sketch2, I don't know what happened to Sketch1)

 

My guess is that you use Mirror to copy one of the angled tangent lines.

I am going to recommend that you (almost) never use mirror of sketch geometry.

. I fix sketch 2 and it's fully constrained now. Yes i did mirror the angled tangent lines but i believe that what the tool is for.

..... but i believe that what the tool is for.

 

For now, believe me when I tell you not to use that tool till you gain more experience. You do not have enough experience yet for my to explain - so you have to take my word for it. (actually, you don't have to take my word - you just generated a sketch that proves it doesn't do what you expect, you just don't know why)
