The clip (no sound) shows MatchSrf + History and the new CurveNearSurface=On/Off option (if On, no edge is needed for the match) in combination with some other commands

⦠Can we have G3 continuity?
[/quote]Hmm - I donāt know how big a deal it is to add g3 matching - @lowell - any thoughts?
I realize Iām one WIP behindā¦
Yes I caught the command line switch and I was able to MatchSrf to an isocurve. But was unable to get the history features working.
DLāing the latest WIP, maybe thatās the problem.
Most impressive and I can see that becoming very valuable. Iāve got a challenge for you: howās about inserting a chine in a surface the location of which is independent of the surfaceās isoparms? Iāve been trying to achieve that but can only seem to get a chine (in ORCA) to follow the surfacesā isoparms. I understand why this takes place on a low level, but would truly like to place a chine anywhere i wish regardless of isoparm location.
Very nice.
Personally, this is the single V6 improvement with the biggest potential impact on my workflow.
It would be nice to see the CV structure of the matched surface (especially in the projection match scenarios)
Now just add g3 matching, the possibility to manipulate endpoint alignment, explicit surface controls (cv/spans) and a function to do 4 sided matchesā¦
I know, a lot to ask for, but one can dream.
That looks pretty cool. Would it be possible (as a display ātrickā) to nominate portions of a surface to one side of an isocurve or projected curve to display transparent or ghosted? Then you could get a very good, non-destructive preview of your work, and still have full access to all control points and edges.
Also, if your surface āfell offā the end of said curve after editing, the display could revert to showing the surface āsolidā in its entirety, alerting you to the fact that you no longer have a complete intersection.
I donāt think Iāve explained myself very well thereā¦
