I can't get over how difficult this particular shape is.
I tried making it in several of my other subD and Nurbs apps also and MoI is WAY ahead!(Well I could not do it in any of them!)

What is it in this shape especially that creates problems I wonder?

Anyway, for use in my normal 3D rendering apps I at least got a fine result eventually---with thickness!
(What a time waster!)

Hi Brian,

You should be able to create the surface in other applications even poly apps, for example, I created the surface in Hexagon from the line data (the other poly programs would not import the line data, so did not attempt).

In MoI/Rhino you would build using "network", in poly programs you would use (as in Hexagon) "Gordon surface". I am not saying the resulting surface would be accurate enough for machining, but it can be easily modeled from the curves given.

1.Are you saying you created the same lines in Hexagon and enabled Gordon surface to them.
2.and/or you imported the line data to Hexagon in "?format" (from?)and enabled Gordon surface to the lines

Is it a Brian day? I can not do either!

Hi Brian,

>>or you imported the line data to Hexagon in "?format" (from?)and enabled Gordon surface to the lines

I converted the line data into DXF then imported into hexagon, I did have to weld some lines/curves to create the correct lat/long sections needed.

Thanks.
What a complex world!

Unless you purchase MoI of course :-))
