Hello again,

the red sketch is the envisioned result. I've attached another file which should give a better idea of the requirements.

Basically I need an almost L shaped extension of the edge like the red shape which extends the upper surface like indicated in green and blends into the side (the upper surface points to other parts of my design - blue arrows). At he end the extension should be 4mm thick.

The existing shape must only be modified near the edge for a defined length so working with surface points doesn't work as this would change the shape of the original part. It would be ok to cut the edge if e.g. blend would be part of the solution.

I hope that's a clearer explanation.

Hi simba, re:

The amount of disturbance of the original part can be reduced if you insert additional points into the surface, see the attached 3DM file for an example.





The surface retains the same overall shape, it's only changed in shape in the localized area around the moved control points.

That's probably the easiest way to get the seamless and smooth type qualities that you were asking about originally.

If you want to build something as a separate part you're probably looking at cutting away some holes in between the pieces and doing Blend, but your case here with the very tightly bent shape right in the area you want to blend from will probably make that rather difficult.
