Surfacing with Facte Body
Surfacing with Facte Body
(OP)
Hi all,
I have a facet body which i am trying to replicate a workable surface from. I can create intersection, curves points alsorts on it, but think I might be struggling due to not having correct licenses. I have rapid surfacing but can't seem to get that to do what I need, but am limited in the edit, facted body commands due to the license. Has anyone got any advise/a way of creating a surface from a point cloud, or curves? I'm currently experimenting with surface from point cloud, and through mesh curves (i think it's called) but again am struggling to get it right.
Thanks in advance

RE: Surfacing with Facte Body
I would be prepared to create and refine surfaces more than once - chances are slim that you're going to get it correct in one shot unless you're very good at manipulating splines in 3D space. I would try with small surfaces when using the Rapid Surfacing tool - I've not got many hours experience with it, but the end result is probably going to be rough as far as surface quality and need further refinement (rebuilding with higher quality curves).
Point Cloud would be the last resort in my opinion - unless you're just looking for a rough starting point. Mesh surface commands are going to result in higher quality surfaces with more control of the surface in the middle areas - but sometimes require more curve refinement as you go along.
I know this isn't much help, but maybe you'll at least have an idea of what to expect. Without seeing your part, it's hard to give much advice.
