Offset Surface looks crumpled 1

[Emer4ld]

Hi,

I'm facing an issue with an offset surface of a swept body. It seems that the swept doesn't produce a body with seperate faces and therefore the offset can't be calculated correctly.
I want to use the swept later to substract it from a body and thats why I need to offset some of the faces.

Is there a way I need to setup the sketch to have the faces properly divided? I'm running Siemens version 1957.

A litte background info, I'm a mechanical engineer with about 8 years of experience in multiple CAD programms including Creo, Inventor and since the beginning of this year, Siemens. I still struggle with the way Siemens has things implemented in comparison to Creo. In Creo the feature would have been "swept-blend".

TY

There is an option in the swept dialog box called "preserve shape", turn this on whenever your section has sharp corners that you need to maintain.

Thank you, this option did it.
