BlendCap applied twice to a narrow spherical elastica ribbon, then Blend them, delete ribbon, join to solid.

A curiousity about the "Blend Cap"

Curiously we can't make Top BlendCap then Bottom BlendCap on the same object "thin wall without caps " !

We are obliged to move it for success!

Does this normal ?

PS Found a trick : Union result of the Top BlenCap then Bottom BlandCap will work! but curious anyway! :)

Humm
I've tested and i can make the both on the same

Hi Pilou, do you have an example 3DM file you can post?

Any drawing of a planar closed curve don't work at home for me! :)
V4 last december 21 :) idem for previous V4 october!

Idem for V3

I draw a simple curve closed then extrude it without cap!

Idem for no planar closed curve!

I test it and it's ok.

But you can't do a right-click to do the second blendcap.
You have to call the blendcap.


I see the blendcap cut the closed edge to do 2 edges.

I think Blendcap cut the closed edge then do a blending. Right Michael ?

Philou
test with your file and it's OK for me...

Aaaaaaah yes the Right Click don't works! ( I am fan of the Right Click! )

The normal recall function works!

So maybe that will be improved! :)

Yeah the way it happens to work is it splits the edge and then it runs the Blend command. So if you right-click the system thinks the last run command is Blend and re-runs that instead of re-running BlendCap.

I guess the way to improve this would be to be able to pass in an option for moi.command.execCommand() to tell it not to record that one as the last run command.
