Dear all,
Here is joined a little VCP file. I would like to extrude the 2 little rectangles on the right along the 2 curves.

As everyone can see on the joined image, no problem by using the One Rail Sweep Solid tool. But my problem comes from the corner, this little volume between the 2 rectangles which I want to be filled too.

My question is really about to know the ViaCAD "best practise" to perform such an operation. Thanks for your advices.

Have you tried applying a radius, then extruding it as a surface or applying a surface, then extruding it as a solid?

You could also overlap the two parts so that there is a sharp corner and then use the blend tool to round it on both sides.
You would have to perform a union first though.

No, but that's an idea worth to try. Thanks.

Ok, thanks, let's try this too. I'll give you a feedback, as soon as I would have made some tests. Thanks for your help.

After a little test, the Hadmack method is perfect. I just moved the vertical rectangle on the extreme right vertices of the horizontal rectangle, and the One Rail Sweep Solid tool creates the solid perfectly.

Thanks for the tip. Here is joined a little image about the result.
