Smooth surface (complex surface model)

Maarten De Moor Jul 7, 2017 10:19 AM

Hi!

I'm modelling a complex surfaces. But I can't get a smooth edge (look at the red line).

I used surface loft and created some splines. I made first a loft of the straight wing and then made a loft of the thicker part (that goes from the big bump to the straight wing).

The thicker part is lofted tangent to the straight loft.

Any tips?

Thanks!

Maarten,.. suggest using Boundary Surface (similar to loft but provides more options)... and/or add another guide curve?

try adding another profile for the larger section of the loft or using additional guide curves to increase local control of the surface.
Also ensure you are using shared/planar end points to match your profiles and limit the amount of twist that results from the loft.
