Offset curve out of tolerance (free form)
Offset curve out of tolerance (free form)
(OP)
Hi All
I'm messing around with some surfacing prior top running a training course and I'm having trouble with an warning which states that my offset curve (25) is out of tolerance on the attached model. I'd like understand what I need to do to get rid of the warning, and what has caused it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

RE: Offset curve out of tolerance (free form)
Alternatively, you could use "deviation check" to see where the offset curve is out of tolerance; perhaps the current output is good enough and you can simply open the tolerance a little (keeping the specified single segment degree 5 output while clearing the message).

In cases such as this, I'll often create a datum plane for each (what is in your model) primary curve. You can then create an associative intersection point between the datum plane and cross curve (the offset curve); and use this point as the end point of each primary curve spline. This makes the model more tolerant of design changes.
