Thanks Michael, I understand the problem however, I hope you can find a solution to this particular problem considering that in other applications the problem dosen't occurs, I have made this with curves created with low precision since I am not good at using FreeCAD, I will do it again the model with better parametric curves and trying to keep the geometry clean.



Greetings

Hi pafurijaz, various problems are bound to occur in other apps too with this kind of very poor quality trimming geometry. It's just a matter of luck that MoI's UV to 3D edge curve push-up gets messed up in particular. If you tried to do other things with the geometry in those other apps than just viewing it you'll likely run into more problems there too.

Sorry, I don't think it will be feasible to fix it, it would involve changing some low level curve stepping processes which are risky to mess with, it's really easy to break other cases.

Somewhere along the line in FreeCAD it seems to have glued curve pieces together in some way that didn't preserve the sharp corners.

OK Michael, I started creating surfaces by improving my workflow, and now things seem to be working better, the previous model was done in a messy way and I was partly aware of it, this is a new one with clean surfaces and regular cuts .
