Hi,
I'm trying to create a sweept feature with two guide curve and a string, but I'm not able to obtain nothing.
I attach the part and the png to understand.

Thank you

Thank you...

Using NX 7.0.1.7 MP1 and TC8.1

Hi Cuba,
The guide strings must be G1 -continous ( Tangent continous) on a sweept feature, the section-s must not. ( can contain sharp corners)
In your example i assume that you planned to sweep the shorter string ( 2 curves close to existing solid) along the two long strings. None of the two long strings are G1 cont. The short is, which means that you can use the short as a guide and the two long as sections, but you will not get the expected shape.

In case you have shapes like this with sharp transitions, cut those off in a secondary step. use "nice and simple curves" in the sweep and you will get better surfaces.

Regards,
Tomas
