Hi everybody, I’m continuing with Rhino+SWorks a product development made with NX for years by a whole lot experienced designer as I am nowadays. I use Rhino for the surfacing and SW to the product engineering. As my boss knows that this won’t be the same than with NX, I’m trying to find the “clea…

[image] Jordi_Perez: · Does anybody knows if someday we’ll be able to edit fillets and blend surfaces with Rhino?· Are we able yet and I don’t know how? Tell me!! (Not “autodesked” plugins please) Hi Jordi - there is limited fillet editing (FilletEdge created fillets) in the V6/WIP and BlendC…

One trick I’ve been using lately (since I mostly just use tiny fillets to break edges) is to use Edge Softening to wash everything. It doesn’t work all the time, but for the purpose of cranking out a model for SLA it saves me a lot of time while I’m still in process. And the newly-history enabled M…

Hi Pascal, a tear has fallen due to your news hahahaha I’ve seen a short video about MatchSrf and it looks very good specially for the quad modeling before the fillets. https://vimeo.com/158046912 That snapshot tool will be deffinetly a time saver no matter what. From now I will keep improving w…

Hi hanscad and thanks for your answer. I thought > _ApplyEdgeSoftenig was just for rendering but not to really change the geometry. How are you exactly doing that? Let’s see how those new features work in v6 and how limited is the history… but for sure we are talking about two of the most expecte…

Yes edge softening is for rendering, but the trick is to use the render mesh to output an STL file. I’m not at my workstation, but I believe something like ExtractRenderMesh is the command? I realize this is a quite limited trick, and only works with a very specific workflow where all fillets are t…

Ok! I was missing the ExtractRenderMesh step… It’s deffinetly a very good trick for meshes like STLs and I will count on it in the future for sure. I’ve never tried VSR so when I discovered it was dead yet for Rhino but I’ve seen some videos and it’s good to have some of this capabilities even if …

[image] Jordi_Perez: From now I will keep improving with v5 until v6 comes. You can download a WIP of RH6 and see how that works for you.

Thank you very much wim! I will take time looking at this thoroughly when I’m free to give some feedback of my own experience.

Yes, sorry I didn’t realize you weren’t using the WIP. I’ve been using exclusively it for about 6 months now, and there are lots of small changes that have sped up my workflow considerably. I made a small macro that saves the file in V5 format, so we haven’t had any compatibility issues with mac us…

Being honest, the Macro Editor stills a complete unknown for me. I think I should fix this as soon as possible… For now I will take your command to save in v4 for the SW exporting :sunglasses: Thanks!!
