Filip Arvidsson Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Hi! I'm trying to complete a school assignment, it's a deodorant bottle. As the shape is rather complex I'm trying a loft with 4 sketches and two rails. Without the rail the loft works well, but with the rails i get a error message "rail curve is not smooth". I have attached a zip with the drawing and my part file. (I saw now that one of the rail curves was incorrect, but it was still error after I made it like the drawing) Hope you can help me find the problem. Best regards Filip Arvidsson part1.zip Quote
JD Mather Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Several of your sketches are not fully constrained. Your rails must be tangent continuous - no sharp corner changes. Quote
Filip Arvidsson Posted December 28, 2009 Author Posted December 28, 2009 How should I make the rails smoother and still have the measurements as in the drawing? I guess that when a sketch turns blacks it's constrained but I can't get the ellipse black. They are measured and on the z axis. Quote

JD Mather Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Try this one - your sketches still weren't constrained. Jar.zip Quote
Filip Arvidsson Posted December 28, 2009 Author Posted December 28, 2009 Wow that works! Thank you! Did you make a axis to lock the ellipses to? Quote
