Example 3. Webcutting using the sweep option

This example introduces additional webcutting options. This example would be a simple many-to-one sweep except for the overhanging lip and the protrusions on the bottom surface. To a beginner user, it may at first seem reasonable to use the bottom surface as a webcutting plane. However, this will not create a many-to-one sweepable volume. Instead, you need to use the protruding surfaces as cutting planes, and extend them through the entire volume.

Final mesh

The final mesh is created at a size of 0.05 for all volumes.
