Exo wireframe problem

zaqi · May 17, 2018, 8:01am

hey,
I am trying to use exo wireframe to make a bone-like shape. I already clean the network using Topologizer. However, it still shows an error : “one or more struts is engulfed by its nodes”… I don’t know why this is happened.
Can anyone explain to me??
Please check my def below.

Thanks in advance

Best,

Don’t panic: ExoW does that (either for a reason … or not [blame Karma]).

Plan B: try Intra Lattice (worst results [by far] but works: kinda a Honda bike, that is).
Plan C: try stuff the likes of Mesh Lab (lot’s of bugs, steep learning curve).

Hi Peter,

hahah… nice explanation! I’ll go for plan B.

Be brave (and consider Plan Z: abandon ship).

ExoW (when it works):

Intra Lattice:

Peter you forgot plan LD (me) if nodes are on surface

Yikes + Yikes. Indeed I forgot that.

I apologize (to restore things I’ll mail you one of these days the notorious travelling salesdog C# where a dog sells used sardines to cats).
