The master cross section is a sketch you create with the Sketch on Path option in the Sketcher. This can be done within the process of creating the Variational Sweep feature, or it can be created prior to the V-Sweep feature. (1) Master cross section (2) Six optional guide rails (3) Six Intersection points (4) Sweep extends past the guide rails ? UGS Corp. 2004. All rights reserved.

Always be consistent when selecting geometry. ? As you develop your model perform quality checks at each sequential stage. ? Perform frequent tests such as hollow, thicken or offsets. ? Perform quality checks on all provided geometry before using. ? Be sure your modeling preferences are set correctly. A spli
