Interesting way of surfacing blowlamp, thanks for trying out something that's a bit different, always good to see other approaches.

Unfortunately with that tool it does surface the area but ends up loosing the nice straight mechanical airfoil shape I was after.

This is a go using Sweep.

I altered the rails slightly (join and trim) and used all the profiles as well as a Scaling rail.

Hi Kevin,

> How did you get the two curves to align so perfectly.

I thought I'd do a short video instead of trying to explain it in words on how you can tackle this situation.



Cheers

Hey, Danny thanks very much for that video. I learned a lot by watching it.

I think it is must see viewing for anybody who needs to set up a curves for a network surface and diagnose why it isn't working.

I liked your technique for diagnosing the problem.
I did not know you can drag curves without affecting the other points and the whole curves location.
Your "guide line" is really good way of sorting out the intersections between curves to give you some snapping points.

I'd pretty much given up on network a few years ago when coming across these kinds of problems constantly and getting unexpected results. I have relooked at it now because it is quicker to setup and more precise than the loft loose exact method and I know Michael has done a lot more work on them in V3.

Once again cheers, I now have a bunch of network curves to set up for the rest of the aircraft.
