Draft in GSD 1

[TiagoFigueiredo]

I FOLKS!

I have an extrude made in GSD and I want to draft it.

The example is by far more simple than the part I'm working (but I can't post any image of it). I've tried the sweep with draft angle, and it returns an error

For doing the needed draft, I splited the profile on several segments, and then created several sweeps, trim them together and then the desired result appeared. It worked quite well, but it took long to achieve the result.

By the way, I must add, that I only have available CAC + MCE license. In past, at other company with other license package, I had the Sweep with draft direction. It works better.

So my question is:
Is there any other tip? Any other way to do this?

I also thought in extrude the profile, then convert to body by thickening it, and then in body apply the draft and extract the surface... But as company rules, I'm not allowed to do that!

I'm not familiar with those licenses, but if you have Part Design workbench, you could do it as a solid. And then extract the surface (if you really need a surface)

Yes, you have Sweep with draft direction.

Tiago,

Have you tried multi section surface? I don't know about your geometry, but if you can sketch the ends, you can multi section it to make a drafted surface.

 

[TiagoFigueiredo]

You are right! If i know the ends!
But for make a draft, I only know one section! That's the point! Sweep with draft should be available in "basic" license (MCE)

Here is a similar profile used to create a Swept surface with a draft angle:
