Network surface continuity

Hello Michael,

There was a lots of discussion about this in the past, but I'm wondering if that ACIS migration will help to include continuity options in tools like network ?
I know you are not thrilled by this patch surfacing modeling, and as much I try to avoid it myself there are also scenarii when I'm end-up having to close some tricky surface manually and for now I just give-up and process that surface somewhere else.

This kind of product always puzzle, seems to good too be true, https://www.xnurbs.com/ ... working only on windows is a bummer tho.

Is there any plan for MoI to 'simply' tackle the problem at some point ?

Cheers.

No, probably not, it's not really a focus area for ACIS either.

Nothing really specific currently. I have some ideas that I can work on in the future but I expect it to be a highly time consuming area of work so it's unpredictable when it will happen or bear fruit.

Often times if you're trying to fill things in "patch by patch" with continuity it's a signal that model would be better to do with sub-d modeling instead. Since v4 MoI includes a sub-d conversion tool that has great continuity preservation to enable this pathway.
