Through Curves Section Help

[JSDesign8593]

Hello All,

I am trying to model a fan blade. I want to make this model a "start" model for all future fan blades. Right now in order to control the shape of the blade I have a series of sections starting with A-A all the way to N-N. Then I use a through curves command on the sections to make a solid of my blade shape. With each new blade shape the amount of sections varies depending on the length of the blade.

My issue is I am trying to figure out a way to suppress the unneeded sections but I can not do that without first removing them from the section list in the through curves command. Does anyone know if the sections can be suppressed without taking them out of the through curves command? If it cant would anyone have a suggestion on how I can change my modeling to allow me to turn sections on and off with expressions as the blade length grows and shrinks.

Thank you,
JSDesign

I'm not aware of any scheme to do that. As far as I know, the Through Curves function requires you to specifically identify the Section curves for each model. Deleting a section will cause the model to fail to update.

Hi,

I agree with John R. Baker. There si no way to do that, even with NX1953 coming soon but it's very interesting and you should open an enhancement request in GTAC
