Thanks for explaining. Will work on that.

Would it be possible, or useful, to have a script which would examine the end tangents of end connected curves, and report if the tangents were equal or not?
...Filtering tangents which are greater, or lesser, than a tolerance...?

Hi Brian, yes that would definitely be useful and I do expect to have something for that built in at some point here when I can figure out a good place to put it.

Here are a few renderings of the model - really like how the contours turned out.

Looking good Neil!

- Michael

Yes it's really good !

Here is a heel, neck transition - it is nice and smooth on the left side - so I mirrored that side - but the right side has a seam - how to fix this?

Thanks, N

Hi Neil, it helps a lot if you can post the 3DM model file with the geometry in it instead of only a screenshot.

That allows for a lot more detailed analysis of what's going on.

- Michael

Lol - sorry Michael - the file is attached now.

Hi Neil, there are 3 surfaces in that file and they look like this:


So that's clearly not a result of mirroring, there aren't separate pieces across a center mirror line like a mirror operation would create.

Maybe I'm not understanding what you mirrored though, was it the curves before building the surfaces? If you can post a file that is ready to repeat the mirror that you did that would help.

Yes I apparently had several drawings combined there - which is a bad habit I need to break - constantly redrawing and not deleting - anyway - started over and used the aligning tools as Ferguson suggested and it turned out great. I'll be aligning everything from now on. :)

That one is looking good Neil!

Hi
Your construction lines are curious and non symetrycal.
I don't understand why you want to do something complicated for this part of the model.
See also your curve Transition 2

Thanks for pointing out all my mistakes. This one is simpler and more symmetrical. I used MoI 3 and only the basic commands.

it's better but there's still a little problem with that curve junction.

Thanks. Maybe this is better.

entire frame curve is not straight (0,0007)
see my screen shot
but perhaps it's that you want

and the part is still not symmetrical

Yes - thanks very much.

Thanks for the tip - didn't apparently understand when you suggested it - found out today that I've been trying to use network where blend would be more appropriate.
