Hi hope that someone can help me with this problem.
The attached file is half of the forepart of a shoelast shape. upload.3dm (2.9 MB)
I have created profiles to produce a surface with Network Surface, and while the surface isn’t terrible, it’s a little mis-shaped at the toe end. I have set the distance to edge on the surface as 0.001, but when zooming in I can still see a gap between the edge and the the boundary curves.
Worse still, when I then cap the two planar surfaces, and attempt to shell the closed polysurface at a distance of 2mm (this is required), I get a self intersecting surface at the toe.
Please give me some guidelines, I’ve spent two days going round in circles.
Hello - it looks like at 2mm offset, you’ll need to chop out some of the offset and replace it with a new surface- The radius ot your surface drops below 2, so some self intersection is inevitable.
