Hi there,
I am getting very weird undefined edges while unrolling surface.
Please see attached file with an example, thanks.
P.S.
I was trying to upload the 3dm file using the forum but with no luck as I was getting an error (Sorry, there was an error uploading that file. Please try again.).
Thank you Pascal, that worked like a charm.
If that is a bug in the software maybe this will help if I explain how that surface was created, I use different method to create surface for my purpose but I took over this file from my colleague and he used command ExtrudeCrv with series of circles BooleanUnion together. I usually Pipe a curve and then use intersection to split it to get the right shape and have never experienced any difficulties with it - rarely use extrude curve for other purposes.
Matt,
I downloaded your surface file and it unrolled perfectly for me just using unroll. None of the jagged squiggly edges present in the final unrolled surface.
@matt doh!! it was a units/tolerance issue. (mantra: always check your units/tolerance settings!!) The first time I checked this yesterday I had imported the file into one of my own files with proper tolerance. Today I opened your file directly and you have meters as units with only .01 set for absolute tolerance. Setting it to my standard .001 is what fixes the jagged edges.
@carvecream a good find, thank you! As I said I get the file from my colleague and first thing I should have done was to set the units - that is a good habit!
Thanks again
