Hello.
I’ve been using sweep2 to create surfaces, mainly because it allows realign curves with “lines” during creation, but I’ve learned that these surfaces are not precisely follow curves. EdgeSrf or Loft on other hand create surface that does follow curves precisely, however they don’t allow align curves.
I’m working with “flat” surfaces that can be unfolded into 2D without stresses, so loft is probably most accurate tool for that.
Is there a way adjust existing surfaces the same way as sweep2 does during creation?
What I mean by that is tell surface that a point on edgeA should match a point on edgeB (represented by red line on this screenshot)
Thank you! This looks very promising, but in my limited tests, it was producing mixed results, mainly, because it ignores rulings I’m trying to add (via interactive mode), or place them at totally different angle, or better yet, I click at one curve, but it shows the starting point assigned to another curve:
Also, undo ruling doesn’t work.
With Sweep2 when you add a line during fine tuning, it creates a v-isocurve at that exact location, here it doesn’t…
What are the red lines and the purple line that shown when adding ruling?
If you evaluate the surface along any ruler’s position (violett) (connection between the 2 rails) the surfaces does not have any twist. And while unrolling this is the line, where it touches the planar ground.
If you add arbitrary connection lines, you introduce torsion, and with torsion it s no longer a developable surface (but still a ruled surface). See linked topics above for details.
