network command nuances

Hi Stav, also it can be problematic to try and do a toroidal type network with only 2 cross sections in each direction.

The way Network functions is sort of like doing a loft in 2 simultaneous directions, and a closed loft between only 2 sections is not very well defined, it sort of gets flattened down.

So you may need 4 stations for something like this to get done with Network. For a lighter number of sections with a toroidal type layout, sweep can tend to be better than Network.


Another problem area for your network setup are your curves have some little tiny sharp cornered segments in them, like here:





These kinds of little segmented shapes in the curves will become long slivery sharp surface bands stretching the width of the network result as well.
