Bye to all,
I am turning my head with a client who asks me to make 2 swept blend in a unique swept blend.
to better understand, you can open the attached part and try to connect through solid geometry the long tubes with those small ones.
I made the swept blend 1 but it allows me to connect a long tube with a small one, while I would also connect the other along with the small one but with the condition that everything is in one feature that is with swept blend or other.
all idea or suggestion is welcome.
Thank you.

I don't think that's possible. I think it's a little crazy.
the solutions are two:

1. the customer settles with the mirror of the swept blend you have already made.
2. being identical tubes, create a unique tube and create a set with two tubes placed as in your file.

then I leave the word to those who can have better ideas and solutions.

hi tree and thank you for the answer.
I've already talked to the client about the ways you proposed, but he doesn't want to.. .
I'm looking at the limits blend but nothing good.
Thank you.

is possible but:

1- the construction methodology is wrong you have to rebuild
2- you must first create the two trajectory
3- you don't have to use the blend sweep, because first it doesn't make sense (the sections are equal and second do not accept more than a loop for trajectory), but use a var sweep.
4-poi, however, made also by the customer why he wants it by force of things in a unique feature, whether for whim or for a real necessity. . .

greetings

but does the customer need geometry or intend to participate in telequiz?
I would sweep and mirror it, I don't understand where the problem is.

Hello, everyone.
thanks pzzy as always .. excellent suggestions ... in fact you have to change methodology of constructing.
I think the client (after the last exchanges) is comparing software apparently...can be that another software cad can be able to do as it requires...cmq with the suggestion of ozzy seems to have accepted the technique...the two tubes have become 7...eheheheheheheh who knows what will ask again. .
Thank you.

Thank you.

Although another software was able to create this in a single function, it is sad to think that a company valued another cad only for this, also because as mentioned it is not that it does not, but starting from a unique trajectory therefore it is of wrong concept. . .
but now I'm used to seeing and hearing about all kinds... :wink:

I return to the post even if it has been a long time, rightly you can do with a variable sweep section, you have to add to the existing curve a second curve that joins the centers of the two tubes, tangent to the axes of the tubes. the central curve will be the origin of the vss, the second curve will be a chain.
the sketch of the vss must be composed of two circles, one centered on the curved chain, the other symmetrical regarding the plane. in this way the connection part is a single feature, although there are two support curves.

Hi.
Could someone post the .prt file? Maybe I understand something more....
