In the conceptual design environment, a swept blend is created from two or more 2D profiles that are swept along a path. The profile consists of linework drawn perpendicular to the line that define the path.
Note: If you are creating a component family using a template other than a massing or adaptive component template, see
Creating a Swept Blend.
To create a swept blend.
- Using the tools on the Model tabDraw panel, draw a series of connected lines to form a path.
- Click Model tabDraw panel Point Element and place reference points for the swept blend profiles along the path.
- Select a reference point and draw a closed profile on its work plane.
- Similarly, draw profiles for the remaining reference points.
- Select the path and profiles.
- Click Modify | Lines tabForm panel Create Form. See Accessing the Create Form Tool.
