Hi Mala, you can put a fillet there as long as it's not overabout 0.17 radius:



If you need something that is kind of blobby and smooth to an irregular outline you may be better off building something like that with a Sub-D modeling program rather than a CAD program.

Hi,
split finger curves in two then blend.
Cheers
Barry

For Blend something for have a surface(s) you must have yet some surface(s) to the curves selected!

Barry-H, could you show the steps to achieve that? I can't figure out what you are blending with what exactly

Maybe like this ;) Blend is a magic function!





1- 4 --> 3 Blend
2 - 3 Blend
will give also another different valid result
4 - 2 Blend ->3
1 - 3 Blend
etc...

Order is important following result wanted!

Hi DanC,
the finger shapes are extruded then the top edge of each finger are trimmed at the tips.
You can then blend one side of the finger to the other.
Hope this helps.
Barry

Ah, thank you both. So yes, more trims. I thought there was only one trim (at the visible split in the top surface), but you need one more. I was trying to cap a similar shape extrusion with these kind of concave parts to the shape and couldn't find an elegant solution as the BlendCap function is only successful with concave profiles to a certain degree. When you have something like this with the 'fingers' it just doesn't know what to do.

My Internet is down...so communication with cell phone...
I cannot solve it. I tried all your concepts. No success. If I split the two fingers, blendcap needs a closed spline. Which I normally have. The objekt info tells me so. But always this no-go message...hmmm'...

Pilou, can't follow your workflow...

That you maybe missed on the video is the line who "Trim" the perimeter...for have the 3 curves segments (1 2 4)

I do not understand trim the perimeter and how to do that.

Like this you trim the top perimeter edge!
(carreful to kill a possible curve against the perimeter edge! )
Kill of course the line after the trimming...if necessary
PS the vertical line is the Curve generator (made during the extrude ) so automatic trimming! :)

You can now make your Blends!

And now the splines are splitted And blendcap needs closed lines...hmmm'...

Hi Lara,
Use blend NOT blend cap.
Barry

Pilou, do you use the "blendcap" option pressing tab before?

No i use only Blend! ;)

It worked once. To check the workflow. Result was not good, so I tried from beginning. Result: no result or successful blend operation.
Here is my workflow:
1. Only the two fingers spline as base
2. Extrusion
3. Eleminate the spline on top/additionally? generated spline
4. Generate a simple spline through snapping points of the finger spline - trim of the two splines
5. Activate one part of the splitted fingerspline
6. Do blend
7. No operation is done
8. hmmm'...

Lara,
split finger edges using the trim tool then blend as shown in photo.
Cheers
Barry

Schema & Animation that i made shows the same Barry Method! :)
