[Jo...] Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I am trying to create a line profile, which is based off intersections of a plane and several features. It's an odd way to control these features, IMO, but I am stuck nonetheless. It appears Curve is needed (and don't have) from what I can tell, but I am wondering if anyone knows a "workaround" to this, or if I am simply going about it wrong. The (poorly) shaded area represents the plane and the lines that the leader is pointing to is another intersecting plane and a radius, if this helps at all.

IMO: Curve is a more accurate option, depending on how drastic the transitions between features are. If profiles are going to be defined at the intersections of features in the future, I would definitely push for Curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm used to surface profiles, but I am not sure how I would define where the points on a theoretical line. Do you do this with space points and just edit the nominals to where the theoretical intersection should be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all of the complex profiles we are used to inspecting it would be a worthwhile investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Mi...] Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I had the same thing with a slot. No datums. Told them I could not do it without FF and curve. SO they bought it and I went up to see Ryan and learned how to use. They took my word that I cant measure it. Could have with crap load of extra clicking. So now I have F and curve lol. I find soooooooo many uses for curve now. Have no idea how I got by without it all these years, Really good stuff if you can get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
