Issue with Sketches created after shell tool


Fiberglass

Recommended Posts

Thanks for taking the time to read this thread. I have a frustrating issue, one that I have not encountered on previous parts.

 

 

I searched the forum, but am probably looking for the wrong key words...or I'm just an idiotic noobie :?

 

 

My issue is this:

I started the IPT normally.

 

  1. Created the sketch
  2. using a rectangle (construction lines) to define my required dimensions, I used the spline (vertex) tool to draw out 1/2 of my shape.
  3. Then I mirrored the spline around a center axis.
  4. exited the sketch and extruded the design

Up to this point any sketch created is perfectly aligned on the axis.

Once I use the Shell tool, every subsequent sketch is skewed by about 7 degrees

 

 

What am I doing wrong? I have attached my IPT file for anyone wanting to take a look.

I appreciate ya'll help!

Design 102815 (Peanut).ipt

I must be missing something. When I create the work plane, it is skewed by the same amount as the previous sketches. This is even prior to creating the shell. I can make the wp work, but what is causing this issue in the first place? Id rather fix the problem than the symptom.

When the main section is a relative rectangle this does not happen.

 

 

Thanks
