Sketching the path profiles

“

- From the exercise folder, open file 01_02 Sketching The Path Profile Start file. For our profile sketches, we'll need reference planes on the end of each of the created paths. So go ahead and activate the reference geometry plane command and to create a perpendicular plane to the control line of the path, we'll select the origin as the first reference and the connected down to path control line as the second reference. Let's rename this plane to "DownPlane1". We will need a reference sketch for the plane that we will create on the opposite end of this path. So first let's create another plane. This time using the right plane as reference one. And the right bottom point as reference two. Okay to that and rename this plane to "RefPlane1". For our reference sketch, start a sketch on "RefPlane1". Draw a horizontal construction line and let's define this to 100 millimeters. Exit the sketch and rename it to "RefSketch1". And then we'll also go ahead and hide "RefPlane1". You can use the…
