AutoCAD Inventor :: Recognize Revit Features From Sweep With 3D-path
Sep 18, 2013
When preparing an assembly for export to a Revit family, all features need to be recognized as Revit features. I have a part which consists of a sweep with a 3D path, 2 planar sketches projected to a 3D surface to be precise. To make matters worse, it's a sweep whose end meets it's own beginning (the intent of this specific model is to just satisfy a shape, not necessarily reflect the way it's going to be produced). To date I have not found a way to have this sweep feature recognized as a Revit feature, be it as a single feature or multiple. I am running Inventor Professional 2014 on Windows 8 64-bit.

How does one draw a complex curved line to act as the path for a sweep in REVIT 14?
I need to create an arch (shown in elevation), that follows a curved path (shown in plan).

Is it possible to sweep a solid along a 3d sketched line path to cut a groove / slot? This is like milling a slot in material on a milling machine so the cutter goes along a path removing material.
I can draw a rectangle that represents the side plane of a slot type cutter and this works but in the corners it is not working like a round cutter and leaves sharp corners which then need filleting to finish, but also I am not sure if it is cutting exactly as if a solid round/cylinder cutter would.

I am trying to sweep a profile throughout the helical sweep path which is a series of 3d sketches. The sweet prifile sweeps correctly to the first 3d sketch profile but whin I select the second line the preview is gone and Inventor gives me an error saying the sweep cannot be done. how I can have the sweep done throughout the helical structure.Attached is the ipt file.

Is there some way to get the overall length of a sweep path?
We are creating a 3D sketch to run a pipe cross section along and for the final material we need to know what the LF is.

I am using Inventor 2012. I am trying to sweep the pink shape around the pink rectangle but I get a weird result. Can I not sweep around a rectangle from the center? See attachment. I want to add more to the shape but when I do the result gets weirder.

I have a project I'm working on which requires a sweep path to be a graphical parametric mathematical function in x, y and z.
ex:
x=1.25*sin(10*t)
y=sin(t)*(12+1.25*cos(10*t))+12
z=cos(t)*(12+1.25*cos(10*t))
(this curve is a groove in the surface a bicycle tire. It spirals around several times and gets subtracted from a solid torus)
I was using an old version of NX I-DEAS and this task was easily accomplished with the "function spline" feature. Is anything like this possible in Inventor? I know I could create a list of points in excel, but I'd really prefer not to.

I am trying to recreate and 3D model the impeller of a heartmate II LVAD (URL....) but I am having problems with the sweep along the helical path. The profile is the vertical line and the path is the helix. I want to use a surface output for now. I had to use Solidworks to generate a variable pitch helix and import into Inventor.

I encountered problem when using sweep (path&guide surface)
It was enable to give you preview option (which is a surface that i wanted) but when i hit OK. It gives error as the text box.I tried again to no avail.

I have a sweep that follows the shape of the path sketch, but the sweep itself is made to the right of the sketch. How can I get it to fall directly on the path? I have attached a picture of the sweep as well.

Solution to getting a horizontal sweep to miter with a vertical sweep? Or maybe there is a way to pick a path? A feature in the full version that Autodesk deemed unnecessary for LT.

I have a tunnel profile that I need to sweep around a path. This path is a 3D Polyline but it has arcs and slope associated with it. The sweep command has this automatic banking or twisting to it that just screws everything up. The profile needs to stay perpendicular to the path and the floor of this tunnel needs to remain flat.
I have attached the actual working drawing. It has the profile (which is a simple typical tunnel) and the path all situated.I'm working in AutoCAD 2012 if that really matters.

I'm trying to do a 3d curve stair rail. I had the 3d spline path, I had the polyline rail profile, but after I sweep the profile, it end up being twisted at the end of the rail. Same problem happens when I did a sweep using a helix path, imagine a vertically placed rectangular profile at one end of the path then after using sweep command, the other end was somehow twisted on a certain degree. How can I avoid this twisting problem
See the before and after image. I wanted the rectangle profile to remain vertical throughout the whole sweep

Is there a way to sweep a 3d polyline in AutoCAD 2012? Colleague has a sweep path that he wants to put radii in the corners. I know that in the past you could not do it. I didn't see anything in any post that told me otherwise.

I have been trying to convert this surface (attached file) into a closed volume. But somehow it isnt working.Then I tried to create this figure myself by creating two circles (one at the top and the other at the bottom) and then creating the path for using the sweep command , but it gives a error " sweep produces self intersecting curves".
convert this surface in to a sloid volume or if thats not possible can this geometry be created to the nearest possible approximation.

I am attempting to model an internal 1/8"-27 NPT thread, both the through hole and the tapered part of the hole are modeled, but after I draw the helix and the polygon and orient the polygon to the helix correctly, (or even if I don't, I have tried it) it keeps saying unable to sweep object. I am using Sweep with Alignment with the No option. If I select the polygon first, then click sweep, it works, but rotates the polygon so that what I get ends up looking nothing like a thread profile.
I have tried reducing the polygon radius down to a ridiculously small value, thinking it might have been interference due to a possible trig miscalculation, but with no success, still have the same issue. FYI, I am using a .037" turn height for 27 TPI and a polygon radius of .0214", with a helix small end radius of .177" and large end radius of .189".

I have a frame created as a sweep in a door family - but for some reason it always shows in blue linework, even when not selected. If this is to highlight an error or other issue with the model ?
It seems to have appeared after I deleted the cut opening outline and replaced it with a couple of Void Extrusions (to allow me to control the wrap of the plaster finish and not have it impact on the structural opening size).
The frame does sit within an extrusion void, but it is not selected to cut it.

I making a glass panel with a metal trim for a bank window teller family. How do I control the lineweights for the metal profile?
It seems by default wide lines are being used. I don't see an option in the family editor to pick thin lines.

Revit 2013 does not have the Wall Sweep panel available from a 3D view.
How do I go about modifying segments?
Specifically, how do I modify the sweep so it wraps both sides and end of the wall?

I have a wall type that has an embeded sweep for the wall base. My project is set up in two phases, existing and new work. A door has been created in the existing phase, and demoed in the new phase. Where the door has been demolished an infill with the base appears, great! In the new phase I inserted a larger door that cuts the existing walland the entire infiil from the demolished door, but the base still remains. How do I get the new door to cut the base that was created as a result of the infill?

Is there any way to separate a sweep into all its adjoining pieces? I really want to get all the pieces and their miter angles in order to dimension properly, in order to make an assemble manual.

I have tried 2 methods of generating a parapet cap:
1 - Creating a wall style with the sweep.
2 - Added a host sweep.
The problem is that using either method or a combination of both methods doesn't always work. I still end up with some caps that don't miter correctly even after editing. Sometimes, different intersections will miter and others won't.

While working in the conceptual mass environment, I have inserted a closed profile (1 polyline) from a dwg file.
What I need is to either extrude or sweep this profile as a surface, but obviously Create Form only gives me the solid option.
How do I go about doing this?

Im working in Revit 2010. Im trying to set up a Steel RHS family/types based on a sweep, see attached. Loaded into the family and used in creating the sweep is a profile family with different RHS size types. Is it possible to change the sweeps profile type using a parameter from within RHS family types?
I assume its not possible (unlike driving a nested component using a family type parameter from within the project.)
