Hi,
a nice simple task but what is best way…
With talk of dont use networkSrf, (adding that to my list of dont use, such as JoinEdge)
I am now unsettled and wondering which parts should be dealt with in which way with the attached structure and with what command.
What was selected and why would be good to know.
Could someone be so kind as to step by step it showing method for each part.
should be a doddle for an experienced user.
I also ponder on how the front portion gets made, the object ends at line shown.
I have extended the base lines to this point should they be of use.
all profiles are in two halves.
maybe it can be done in just two surfacings. side and base.
Its symmetrical by the way…and all junctions intersect. Also all curves are as good as I can get them. alter one and another junction is lost. I ended up using curve edit points as that way only the curve between points can be moved subtly. SoftEdit has a bug as was discovered this week by davidcockey so also cant use that.
I have spent days on this, getting all the profiles (from ancient tabled data) to intersect. Fix one and it puts another out or messes up curvature graph. Its as good as I can get and adhering to original dimensions which are vital.
so is it loft or sweep2 or what, I would have gone for NetworkSrf but such is best avoided I am being told this week.
