Join Gabriel Corbett for an in-depth discussion in this video Creating swept shapes, part of SOLIDWORKS 2017 Essential Training.
- When you think about a swept profile,…think about something that has a continuous cross-section.…Something like a piece of tubing or wire or hose.…I'm going to have one basic shape…and then I'm going to extrude that shape…along a certain path.…That's what a swept boss or base does.…In this example, I have what look like…a kind of clothes hanger here.…This would be an example of creating…some type of a wire form.…I'm going to be creating a shape…and then dragging it throughout this entire shape here.…I've drawn one sketch here on sketch #1.…
You can also see that I have sketch #2…that has the cross-section of a little rectangle.…Now, I have a bunch of different options…and something new in Solidworks 2016…is the ability to define a circular cross-section…and have it automatically place it on our curve.…To get started with the swept boss or base,…let's go ahead and click on Swept Boss/Base.…As far as my sketch profile,…I can choose any sketch that lies along this path…or even offset from that path.…In this case here, my sketch profile…
