I don’t understan the prodedure to fix self intersecting curvers in Rhino 8. I have tried reading but I simple haven’t the skills to fix this. I have identified where they are using IntersectSelf. I don’t want to ruin the integrity of the perimeter if possible, because it is eventualy going to be extruded (extrudecrv) to generate a pocket for an inlay. I wasn’t sure if CurveBoolean would destroy the integrity either? Any help is apprecaited. I have attached a small portion of the actual l
Thanks Dale. I suppose my real question is that I don’t know how to fix it. My skill set isn’t refined enough to physically fix the issue. I know where the bogus two areas are, I just don’t visually see what needs to be done, what points are incorrect, the ones that aref correct, and how to manually fix them with out messing up my 0.2mm inlay offset.
One thinkg you can do is use CurveBoolean (DeleteInput=All) and select your outline. That will generally fix any problem spots which are below file tolerance, in this case one of the two areas. The other area is just at the file tolerance of 0.001 so CurveBoolean leaves it alone. You can temporarily lower the file tolerance to 0.002 and run CurveBoolean, that will fix both. Don’t forget to set the tolerance back afterwards.
