Worked for me. Reduce the Stiffness (Steifheit). Stiffness affects how much the new surface will distort from the starting surface. Default starting surface is a plane. I used 0.1 in the attached file. CP_PatchNoTangency DC.3dm (74.4 KB)
I like reducing the stiffness better. It looks like the problem with quite so few spans turns up when you try to join. It’s not that bad in this case but still a little too far to join.
Hmm, I already tried with other parameters, it does really not work at all.
In here, it doesn’t matter what I set, not a bit oft tangency comes out.
With idential parameters it works in SR8 and old V4.
I do not get anything like that- it is pretty clean here at 30 by 30 and stiffness = 1. or low stiffness and lower spans, though joining suffers with too few spans. Not perfect but better than what you show. Not sure what to say- I do have a later build than the public SR9 at the moment but I don’t think there have been any changes to Patch since sr9 was released.
