Surface contrinuity
Surface contrinuity
(OP)
I have a cam profile which is composed of several curved faces. Is there a way to join all those faces into one continuous profile?
Thanks

Using...
Insert -> Curve from Curves -> Join...
...and setting the 'Output Curve Type' to 'General', select the profile curves of the cam. This will result in a single continous curve. Now use THIS curve to sweep out a new cam. This time there should only be a single face for the cam surface.
