Instance geometry and blends
Instance geometry and blends
(OP)
Is it possible to have blends associated to a hole be carried along when instancing geometry along a path ? I thought that this used to be true.
Thanks,

"If you are working with "edge blends" expand the "settings" menu in there, and toggle on "blend all instances" "
This isnt a command thats available under 'Instance Geometry'

RE: Instance geometry and blends
1. Part itself
2. Have located circle geometry and extruded a hole. Picked Instanced Geometry and set up the pattern for 150 holes.
3. Now I have a pattern of 150 holes. THese are extruded and subtracted
4. Next the Edge Blend tool is choosen with Face Edges as the default.
5. The result buries the blends in the solid. Otherwise, I have to choose each hole to give me my blended edge.
Unlike the Instance Feature tool, Instance Geometry does not have an option to carry hte blend through the instance pattern. Unless Im just not seeing.
