Everybody! I have a problem..
I have extruded (separately) 2 circular surfaces, I then wanted to build a complex (not as in difficult, but the curvature varies in x,y&z)surface to join those surfaces
View attachment 834
now I have no problem with the curve creation, but here is the problem! I created the curves by projecting them onto the surface from an original planar curve on a plane mid distance in between the 2 cylinders, but for some reason whenextruding the initial cylinder(from a circular sketch) it effectively halves the complete surface into 2 semi-circularsurface's.. (see the highlighted edges above)
now the problem arises when I project or drop the curves on towhat are effectively TWO surfaces so it splits theprojected curve in to TWO curves! which kinda messes up the creation of the surface due to the fact that it becomes a 5 sided surface, not a 4..
now I know the workaround of simply creating a few more curves and patching it up, which I have no problem doing BUT why should I have to!
I also was thinking of instead of projecting the 2 curves on to the surface I could create them on a plane inside the cylinder then just trim it. but again I dont want to ..
Surely there must be a proper workaround!
Advice please! much appreciated,
James
