Blue Surf model won't thicken due to skewed edge
Blue Surf model won't thicken due to skewed edge
(OP)
Hi, I have a bit of a problem with my blue surf when i want to thicken it to a solid and i need a quick fix. Basically after i draw my sketch and do a blue surf, there is a point on my surface that is skewed and it will not allow me to thicken properly. I have tried deleting some of the nurbs in the sketch but to no avail. Its kind of hard to explain so i will attach my model and a picture.
Appreciate any answers given. Thanks.

The surface will not thicken because its tieing itself in a knot.
You need to modify your surface definition to get rid of the 'skew'.
Some more cross-sections might help.
I tried opening your part file - what version are you using?

I am using version ST5. I tried adding extra cross sections but i start getting errors. I am a total noob at surfacing and most of the my attempts at getting this model somewhat correct is by trial and error.

When we do I'll have another look.
