Summary


Details

In this example, the user has a Solid Edge sheet metal part and wants to create a Lofted Flange between two symmetrical profiles.

However, the resulting Lofted Flange is not symmetrical.

Solution

This is working as designed - Solid Edge does not process anything special for symmetrical sketches with regards to Lofted Flange.

The workaround is to edit the Lofted Flange and add vertex mapping to the side which is required to be symmetrical.

Edit the vertex mapping, adding the necessary sets that will modify the Lofted Flange

Now the Lofted Flange will appear as intended.
