Full Version: Something strange

From: Phiro

Hi all,

I have something strange on an object.

This object have been made using boolean/intersection before extrusion.
I think it's the source of this probem.

My object noted with a size but if I click on size to edit it, the values are different.

An idea ?
It's not dramatic, but strange.

I use v4.0 beta 22 janv.

Hi,

Could you post the parts you started with so we can see the progression to the final object?

Hi,

Sorry I can't.
I reopen a file without having in it all steps of the process.
I have posted the file and described the main steps I used.

Hi,

I don't know if you are aware of the "Incremental Save" command but it allows easily creating multiple "versions" of the file you are working on so you can "go back in time".

Every time you invoke the command it saves the file you are working on but with a numerical suffix added that is incremented with each save.

So if you were working on a file TEST the first save would create TEST01, the second save would create TEST02 and so forth.

By default "ALT S" does that command.

Hi Phiro,

This is some kind of bug in the surface solver where the solver is not stopping at the trim boundaries of a trimmed surface like it is supposed to.

I've added this to my list of things to investigate but it is a difficult area to work on and so it probably won't happen until after v4.

Thanks, - Michael
