    Isolating a surface made off a surface

    I am trying to pattern a surface (in blue) around the periphery of a radial swept surface (in green) but cannot figure out how to isolate just surface to be patterned. My thinking was that if I could delete all surfaces around the blue surface I could pattern is radially around the green radial...

    Curve not forming closed loop

    Don, Thanks for that. I was able to connect the curves and make a bound surface. If I could trouble you for the next step. I now need to trim the intersection of the wave bounded surface with the plate surface sweep that it lies on. Using the trim surface tool fails saying the input curves...

    Curve not forming closed loop

    I understand, but how can I delete the connectors when I cant even see them. When I go to edit profile and select the profile the connectors are not seen. Only when I apply a connection with the connect tool can I see the cross indicating a connection but I they dont seem selectable as...

    Curve not forming closed loop

    I am trying to make a closed surface from four curves. The 'intersection guide curve is made from two intersecting surfaces and should be good by default. The other two profiles called 'Wave profile inside and outside' appear to be connected to the intersecting guide curve and yet I get the...

    Complex curve problem

    Oh, shoot, sorry about that. I forgot I was still using that. Will see if I can get it to a full license then repost this thread.

    Complex curve problem

    Here is the photo of the part. Resolution not so good but give an idea of what it should be.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=c0946267-9964-4652-829e-664609e5afae&file=wave_plate.jpg

    Complex curve problem

    I am stuck on this project. I can post a reference photo of an existing part but the resolution is not so great so I attached the part itself. The part is a thin guage sheet metal disk with a series of radial waves of which I modeling a 45 deg arc to work this problem out. Around the edge is...

    Can Solidworks do this kind of surfacing?

    Thanks again for more suggestions, but I can see from some of the responses it I am not communicating what I am looking to do very effectively. I think I will sculpt the peripheral portion of this in clay, take a photo and then come back to this thread. I am on V20 of Solid Edge and have to...

    Can Solidworks do this kind of surfacing?

    Thank for the feedback. I am encouraged but I'm not sure you guys understand how complex this is. I apologize for the poor quality image as its hard to really see what I am talking about. The peripheral grooves are not a cut into the metal wavy plate they need to be formed, that is they are part...

    Can Solidworks do this kind of surfacing?

    New to this forum. Hopefully my image will show now.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=94c67015-90fd-4271-b182-32473e4f3b25&file=wave_plate.jpg

    Can Solidworks do this kind of surfacing?

    I cannot make this shape in solidedge and am trying to find a program that can. I think it needs to be made from surfaces first before being thickened to a solid. Hopefully my image will be attached where you can see the problem of how to make the pattern of curved grooves on the periphery of...
