Global shaping by curve when near-sharp angle is involved
Global shaping by curve when near-sharp angle is involved
(OP)
Hello everyone!
I found that global shaping by curve does not produce the exact shape when control curve has small radius or sharp corner. You can see what I mean on the picture and in the included prt file.
So the question is - is this an absolute design limitation of a tool, or is it possible to 'bend' the shape sharply?

Now another question - is it possible to unbend this curved shape into a straight one using Global Shaping? I could not get it work, perhaps it is pushing this tool one step too far. But what if you know something I don't?

In the supplied example the planar faces becomes Nurbs faces in the deformation.
