ok i need some help with solidworks. basically i need to sweep from a steep curve to a shallow curve in a few mm's but i dont know how to do a complex curve like this.

anyone got some help?

does solidworks do rail sweeps? just make your rails and cross-section curves and sweep it.

well im working on a vane for a closed radial impeller

on one side its a very steep curve and then moves to a shallow curve over 10mm

well this is what im trying to figure out

just make a few planes and draw the profile on them, then sweep

but im not sweeping a profile, because the profile changes

joo can draw different profiles on each plane

draw the profiles in 2 different planes and then use a loft to create the surface
