Your picture did not come through on the forum. Sweeps have certain processes to get them to work. I find the best way to debug an issue like this is to change each section at a time until I find the section that makes it fail. Also make sure that all of your sections have the same amount of points; good example is going from a square section to a circle. You have to break the circle into four points in the sketch in order to match the square. Also try to match the same start points in each section along the traj. Otherwise you can get some odd twists in the protrusion. I hope this helps.

CM I'm with Eric; wish I could see the picture. Two thoughts however: (1) if you are using a Variable Section Sweep, have you tried an equation using trajpar to control the taper? (2) a General Blend might be a better tool than a VSS. Somewhere in the PTC knowledge base is a wing section where the same airfoil section is retreived at least twice, with different scales, then twist imparted by specifying an angle around the z-axis. If you are unfamiliar with either of these options, we could provide more detail. David

What's the price on the Pro/Workaround module that you paid? Second how about the pricing on the Pro/Fanity module? I'm sure could use those modules every once in a while. I wonder if there is a Pro/Preventcrash module? My last suggestion for you was to use smaller sections or just one lube and either pattern the others or make VSS of the other sets. Sometimes too much stuff for Pro-E to handle in one feature or too much for the human to debug. Its sounds like you have at least got to a goal.
