re-creating surfaces

[Adam P.]

Is there a way to take several surfaces(quilt) and re-create them with one? I work allot with imports so the intersection of the surfaces creat problems when I try to make it a constant wall section.


I have projected curves and made a new surface from these curves but I was wondering if there was an easier way?





I am using wf4.

I could think of several ways. That's a lot to disseminate in words tho.

Here is an example.

Try style Adam.
I made a lot of surfaces by style. If you have old surfaces, just go to style and make curves on the old curves and boundaries. Then make style surface or boundary blend. You will get the results.

please check the part. I made curves in style then surface by boundary blend. Just for your information. It may have little errors. Please do this way and you will get results.

1 -"Edit Definition" ImportFeature id 44;


2 - Delete the central surfaces "minor surfaces";


3 - Open Import Data Doctor and Detach all the surfaces (4x);


4 - Select the central chains of the surfaces (4x) and delete - Nice erase, it was perfect;


5 - With Featurize, select Boundary Blend Surface and Create the Central Surface - Don

Thanks for taking a look at my problem. I do not have style featurebut I have heard allot about it. I will look into it cause it seems that will help immensely. Is there any other way to get a quilt a single surface? If I don't have the style feature?


zepp - that is how I usually do it now, just wondering if there was a way to make it into one surface.


Thanks,


Adam
