Hi! Can anybody explain me how can I make mass in compelx planes or just from weird profiles(pic. attached)?-I open new project, take create mass, enter name of mass, import 3D DWG file, press Solid form, select work plane, sketch profile, AND WHEN I PRESS FINISH SKETCH IT SAYS "SKETCH IS INVALID" How can it be? How can I make complex plane walls, roofs etc. slopet at two planes at the time? Thanks in advance!

Your post is a bit difficult to understand what you are trying to achieve?

 

You're importing a 3D DWG file into a Mass family,

then you are trying to a create a sweep along one of the edges?  Am i correct?

 

Generally you create your mass, if you've modelled it externally you may as well have the whole sketch be external so just finish your mass and then you can use roof, wall, floor by face to create your complex plane walls, roofs etc as you put it...

Maybe if you post a 3D screenshot of your DWG with some directions of what you're after or a sketch it would become clearer.

 

HTH.

My target is to get house objects(walls, roofs etc.) from 3D dwg file. I straigt wall and two slope roof but when I get to more complex massing it says SKETCH IS INVALID. With creating mass-Sketch mode with extend option or other mass sketching option, but I can not finish sketch. In thread picture you can see sketch that is being extended horizontaly-like wall thickness.  That wall is sloped in two planes YZ. As I understund if I set a work plane then extrude goes perpendicular the work plane?
