Trying to Loft a hook

[JD Mather]

I assumed this was merely an academic excersize and not that you are going to actually manufacture. If you are going to manufacture you should establish parting line for the mold and run Draft Analysis. Make sure all of your faces have appropriate draft.

 

I normally do a Derived Component and remove Holes and add material for machining to faces that will be machined as well for the As Cast model.

What do you mean by " perpendicular to the the join line "?

 

Thanks

 

JD is right, this is only a practice exercise to master the use of inventor.

And my point is out of topic. Sorry about that. I reply just to bring a conclusion to the mess I started.

The rib here is perpendicular to the join line.

For moulding purposes the pattern will be made spit in 2

The split is the join line. The taper and machining allowance is a pattern-maker's concern, you don't have to draw them, a tolerance shown on the faces to be machine is all it needs.
