Flakey Streamline Operation
Flakey Streamline Operation
(OP)
7.5.1.5.....
I keep getting the error message...... "The Flow and Cross curves do not intersect within tolerance. Select intersecting curves." ......in a pretty simple streamline operation.
I have checked and rechecked the endpoints of each and every flow and cross curve I have, and the distance between them is always zero, out to nine decimal places. I HAVE INTERSECTING CURVES.
Where is this wonderful "intersect tolerance", and why is it stopping me from completing this Streamline operation?
Hint: I get no cut direction indicators when I ask for them, either.
The error message says "do not intersect within tolerance". Changing the chaining tolerance has not affected this broken operation.
What is "intersection tolerance"?
I replaced the cross curves (splines) with lines connecting the flow curves, checked each intersection to make sure I have a perfect intersection (distance is ZERO between endpoints...). Now, the operation HANGS!

Two flow curves, two cross curves.
I still have not found out what "intersection tolerance" is.
