    Unhappy How to make the extrudecut follow two guide curves?

    Hi there!

    This is my first projrct in SW...







    I need some help please how do I make this cut extrude go flush with the botom and also follow the guide line on the top?








    Because as you can see it makes the bottom of the cut to not go straight....





    Thank's

    I'm a little confused by what you're trying to do, probably because I'm also a novice at SW but, the problem you're having is because your guide path is not parallel to the lower surface.

    Hi! BanduraMaker

    Yes that's ther problem but I also wanted to go at an angle at the top...
    I didn't found a way to achive this ressult with one extrude cut (it seems that the extrude cut can follow one guide path...)

    This is the case...



    If I choose to extrudecut with the bottom as a guide curve



    If I choose to extrude cut with the top 3d sketch as a guide curve

    So I did 3 extrude cuts...

    1)Followed the botom hull so it went straight out.


    2)I converted entities at the top left portion of the plate that is left and did an extrude cut following the left rail from the preview cut and finishing at the cplane that I had made



    3)I mirrored the 2 extrudecut to the right side...



    Now it is as I want it the botom is straight and the top is at an angle.



    It sounds a bit retarded :P But I coudn't found a way as I said to make the extrude cut follow two guide lines at once...

    Try using a loft instead. You make a start profile and an end profile. With straight lofts, you probably don't even need a guide curve but you can always add one.
