Hi danperk (SBEECH),

and thank you for your help!

I wanted to do a try by myself and i got the results summarized in the picture example4_capture.PNG that i'm posting here.

In effect the shelling on the extruded object with no internal edges fails with a radius of 2 but works well with radius of 1.5.

I think that this behavior leverages on the internal more complex structure of the object without internal edges.

If i understood correctly Michael's explanations, in this case the internal edges, help Moi to achieving the task.

Nice day,

Marco.

Hello Marco,

the problem is here:




I don't know which method you have used to create the blendings, but the highlighted edges are splited in three segments.(One big and two small ones left and right) Select the 3 edges, hit tab, type merge and Enter for both edges. Then shell:-)

Have a nice day
Karsten

Hi Karsten (KMRQUS) and Michael,

and thank you very much for your help.

Unfortunately, this isn't the first time that i forget to check the topology of the edges, before continue to try to do what i want to achieve...

Then, i thank you Karsten for reminding me the existence of the Merge command :)

Now, it's not my intention to bore, you or Michael, with strange and unverifiable issues,
but i observed a strange behavior that occurs to the Shell command,
in relation with the position of the mouse pointer and the zoom level,
and camera position while confirming the input of the selected area for that command.

I made this tests on the same object indicated by Karsten, but without first executing the Merge edge command.

Well...sometimes the Shell command works and sometimes not,
depending on the zoom level and camera position in 3d view and
if the MOUSE POINTER IS OR NOT OVER THE SELECTED AREA THAT ACT AS STARTING POINT for the shell command.

Or, at least, this is what i'm observing.

Sad to say that i'm not able to reproduce this issue in a stable way.
If any of you want to try, please give me the chance to verify what i'm saying.

Is any of you is aware of this behavior ?

The zoom level in 3d view or the camera position and angle has some sort of influence to the Shell or other commands ?

Thank's for all and have a nice evening,

Marco.

Hi Marco,

No, not as far as I know. It's probably some bug using uninitialized memory, bugs in that category can be difficult to reproduce and can exhibit semi random behavior.

Hi Michael,

Thank's for your support.

Although it is a bug, i'm glad to know that is not a sort of strange influence involving the camera or mouse position,
and the normal execution of the commands.

Ciao!

Marco.
