Help Creating Precise Surfaces with Outlines in Rhino 7

[Babs]

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working on Rhino 7 recently and have run into a bit of a snag. I’m trying to create surfaces with precise outlines, but I’m struggling to find the best and tidiest approach. I’ve attached some screenshots for reference.

So far, I’ve tried using the patch tool, but it’s not giving me the level of precision I need.

Could anyone share some steps or techniques they use to create surfaces with outlines accurately? Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

you will make yourself insane trying to do that in 1 shot with surfaces…

this is a polysurface for sure-
with a layout something like this-

the pink surface is an over built surface trimmed to match your profile.

or you could likely do this in subd if you were clever about your topology

something like this

for subd if you have not watched this yet- take a peek.

Thanks Kyle, I will give it a go with both options!
