V5 Surfacing question??
V5 Surfacing question??
(OP)
I have a solid catpart and I want to convert the solid to a single surface. I am able to convert the solid to multiple surfaces but I want a single surface. Currently running V5 R19 which includes the generative shape design (gsd) work bench.





RE: V5 Surfacing question??
1) use of " extract " to change solid to surface
ibsert> operation> extract
2) use of ' join " to all surface to 1 surface
ibsert> operation> join

Also have datum on and then you can deactate the datum
Alpha
RE: V5 Surfacing question??
You can use GSD Extract with Point Continuity to give you 1 group of surfaces. Your choice of datum or not datum. Because you have GSD you have Multi Extract. This will allow you to pick a patch of the solid and set it to tangent continuity then select another patch and pick a different continuity type. The result will be 1 group of surfaces. There is a federation option in GSD that will make the group of surfaces act as 1 surface.
