    Set normal vectors on surface boundaries

    Hi, @Toost: this might be EXACTLY what I'm looking for!! I'm new to NX and didn't know the Law Extension command: I'll start to study it in detail, but it seems it permits to do what I intended to! @Bubbak: In facts, I have to develop a procedure to impose some angles before building the two...

    Set normal vectors on surface boundaries

    Ok, this is much clearer now. The thing I want to do is to understand the common workflow followed by the designers in these type of modeling (creased surfaces, preferrably made with A-class surfs). I've got an educational license for NX so I'm asking in this section: I honestly don't know if...

    Set normal vectors on surface boundaries

    Hello again, I tried to step back and watch my problem from a different angle, maybe by rethinking the basis of the problem itself. Since my goal is to find a logic to reconstruct two surfaces, which may be tangent and/or not-tangent along their shared edge, first I have to understand how...

    "Pinched" edges on surfaces

    Ok, I'll try that. Thanks!

    "Pinched" edges on surfaces

    Yes but I'm interested in how to model the "pinced" edges in 3D CAD. I'd like to understand if it can be done by using some sort of loft or by imposing the surface normals near the edge.

    "Pinched" edges on surfaces

    Thank you for your answer. Did someone have to face this problem in a common CAD environments? And how she/he managed to solve it?

    Set normal vectors on surface boundaries

    Thank you, this is exactly what I was afraid of :)

    "Pinched" edges on surfaces

    Hi, I'm quite new on this matter so, please, forgive me for the possible trivial question: How are the surfaces containing a "fading out" edge generally designed into the various CAD environments? Thanks in advance

    Set normal vectors on surface boundaries

    Is it possible to do this kind of "selective tangency" operation?

    Set normal vectors on surface boundaries

    I use NX 10 for Windows and yes, I want exactly to set the tangency between the two surfaces, but only one some selected points along the shared edge. In some other points I'd like for instance to set a fixed angle between the two normals.

    Set normal vectors on surface boundaries

    Hello and thanks for your reply. In particular, I want to take a set of arbitrary points along the edge shared between two surfaces and then, for each of these selected points, I wanto to set the surface normals for each surface, forcing them to respect those imposed boundary condition (the...

    Set normal vectors on surface boundaries

    Hello, I'm struggling to solve this problem but I need some help because I don't know how to go on. The problem regards the construction of a couple of surfaces, sharing one edge (in form of a spline curve). Is it possible to impose the normal vectors of the two surfaces along their boundaries...
