How would i go about making a fan and body for a house fan
I designed a new concept for a triple rotational house fan and am having difficulties constructing the fan blades and the outer body of the fan, its for an engineering project

David,
I do not use Solid Edge, but presume it has similar features as SolidWorks. I attached a Tutorial how I would create the blade in SolidWorks. Actually quite simple (so is everything else once you know how... right?).
In SolidWorks, you would use the "LOFT" Command. First create a series of parallel planes. On these planes you will create (sketch) a cross section (PROFILE) of segments along the length of your blade. Once you have the profiles created then you utilize the "LOFT" Command to create the blade.
For simple sake I just used 4 planes and 4 profiles for the example.
Hope this helps.

Hey,
found this tutorial on youtube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_oBAGvE2rs&feature=related
it's for solidworks, but maybe you can find some inspiration :) ?
Hi David
SE got same features...put some planes, draw your blade profile, use LOFT command (lofted protrusion) and voala...u got your blade...just like Don explained
