Hi Andras,

Generally if you construct your object with many surfaces, it will be difficult to eliminate creases where they touch each other.

Here are a couple of posts where I try to explain how/why this happens:

That's the kind of thing that you are running into here.

In the future I do plan on adding in some additional functions to try and make adjacent surfaces smooth to one another, but it is a difficult problem and will probably take some time before it is possible to do this in MoI.

Right now the best way to ensure smoothness between different pieces is to use Fillet or Blend to construct a smooth fitting piece. Other construction commands like Sweep, Loft, or Network won't do any special work right now to ensure adjacent smoothness.

Another method is to try and use larger surfaces to build a smooth piece instead of having it split up into smaller regions.

If you want to post your .3dm model file, I might be able to give you some better suggestions on how to improve it.

- Michael

Hi Andras, sometimes the trick is to make the surface larger than what you need and then trim excess parts or holes out of it to make it fit to the desired shape, rather than trying to construct surfaces that follow immediately along that area.

If you try to surface always directly following right along the final edges, it will tend to be difficult to make larger surfaces where the edges change a lot.

Sometimes this is difficult to get started with, because it means you have to kind of imagine your surface as a larger sheet that extends past the immediate area.

Hi !
Michael told me about this trick and you can go as far as
making a whole soft bodyshape with just a few curves....
The larger the parts are the softer the flow....

One extra line can cause extra stress to the surface....

Its sometimes better to just adjust those curves you have....
In this case you can see with how few curves the shape can be done....

Hi Andras, if you have the example as a .3dm file, please post that so I can take a look.
