RobH2 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 This is the first time I've tried to use 'Curved Stock' in Ironcad 2020. No matter what I draw, it always errors to "The section profile for sheet metal loft must be smoothly connected." I tried using the existing bend line that's automatically there and if I don't touch it and 'Finish' the sketch, no error. But even somehthing as simple as splitting it in the middle and dragging that one point up, the error is generated. And of course, nothing else will work no matter what 'Edit Prodile Location' I choose. What could I be doing wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKevin Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 The line segments have to be connect by tangent curves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobH2 Posted November 1, 2022 Author Share Posted November 1, 2022 I think I might have the answer. All points must be smooth and not have any angles. That works for me. But, I followed a tutorial that makes right angles. So, I'm not sure. I hope someone can steer me the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobH2 Posted November 1, 2022 Author Share Posted November 1, 2022 IronKevin, thanks. Looks like our messages crossed. So yea, that's it and the hint is in the word "Smoothly." I took that to mean "no gaps" instead it means what it says, "smoothly." If I now add a minimal 'Fillet' to my points, it works. I hope this simple 'User Error' helps someone else and I appreciate the fast response. Hey, say "hello" to my nephew Cameron Schriner if you guys are in the same office. Thanks Kevin...
