Sweep1 not working

I am trying to sweep two merged sections across these eliptical shapes and its not return a smooth sweep.

Hi, @Zarif_Abrar!

Well…I’ll mention not all your sweep sections intersect your rails :grin:

And that you’ll most likely continue to have questions about sweep for the rest of your modeling career.

Also, rule of thumb: never upload your entire grasshopper definition, as you did (unless it’s short and sweet); only upload the internalized stuff you need help with. Sorry, but I do appreciate you grouped the ‘problem area’, though, that helped!

In the meantime, notify if this* helps:

*As workaround, I’ve ‘forced’ your elliptical rails to make contact with your sections, plus a tweak to accommodate for Sweep2 instead.

Cheers,
RC

is there any way to make it conform more to my previous rails? because this solution creates a large offset from the original ellipsis that I was trying to sweep across

I believe so, one way* below, with bad results :frowning:

*‘Snapping’ your non-touching sections (line pairs) to their corresponding rails (ellipses) isn’t a big hassle, the problem is that Sweep1 is still grasshopper sweep, and it does whatever it wants!

Also, my ignorance impedes a better explanation, I apologize. However, I can tell you that the errors in the grasshopper sweep result do not occur when I bake the ‘conformed’ lines and perform the sweep manually in Rhino. In fact, the sweep that got skipped (bottom) does work without a problem manually. This just leaves us with more questions :slight_smile:

Hopefully someone with higher skill or troubleshooting knowledge can assist! Or maybe we’ll think of a workaround overnight.

Best,
RC
