chrisd,

The SolidWorks file can be opened on other computers without the plugin. It preserves the surface quality (XNurbs generates native CAD surfaces, i.e., trimmed NURBS surfaces. So you can also save it in other formats, e.g., IGES, and it also preserves the surface quality.) To edit the XNurbs features, you will need to install the plugin. If you just need to use the plugin for a short time, then you can install a trial version, which is fully functioned.

The attached files are SolidWorks files with XNurbs features. You need SolidWorks 2017 SP4.1 or later to open the files. Just let me know if you have any problem.

AlexPolo,

I am not sure I understand you.

I need to remind you again: please do not use the curves you sent to me in production. The wireframe is heavily overlapped and twisted. XNurbs has to downgrade surface quality and waste a lot of control points to handle these curve constraints. In your wireframe, for two connected points at a corner, one point is actually 5 mm above the other – very bad conflict constraints! Your screenshot shows XNurbs generates dense control points at the four corners – it indicates problems in your input. We are looking for some bad samples, e.g., heavily overlapped/twisted constraints, and your example is perfect for us. Thank you. However, if you were a designer, I don’t know why you also need such an example.

Kevin
