Surface from sketches on 3 planes

Lars Moltrup Jul 27, 2012 10:08 PM

I can't seem to get a uniform and smoothe srface out of these 5 sketches. The boundary is defined very accurate.

I have tried using loft, but boundary surface seems to be the correct feature. Any thoughts on this?

I am on a pretty tight deadline, so will very much appreciate any inputs.

Aloha

Lars,
Boundary surface is the newer feature and typically a better one than loft. If it is working for you I would stick with it. I hope this helps.

  Hi Robert
  
  thank you for your reply.
  
  My problem is, that i can not get boundary to work.
  
  I can add sketches on 2 different planes to the boundary feature, but when i add the last 1 or 2 sketches it all goes to ......
  
  Could it be some setting in Boundary that i am missing?
  
  I have attached the sketches on my post, so feel free to play around with it :-)
  
  Thanks
  
  Aloha

    Lars,
    Is this what you are looking for?
    direction 1 are the blue and Direction 2 are the purple, you have to use the selection manager.

      Hi Frank
      
      This is exactly what i am looking for! Thank you very much!
      
      Sorry for being a lttle stupid, but how do you split up the outline in selection manager? Can't seem to get the same result as you.
      
      I appreciate you time.
