This command allows you to generate CAD surfaces from a mesh and a polyline network. The surface is made of patches fitted onto the mesh.
Requirements
Select the mesh and a polyline network previously designed (polylines and/or set of polylines) and launch the command.
-
When you open the command, a pre-computation is launched. A shell composed of CAD curves and faces is computed. All the computed faces will be fitted on the selected mesh.
-
You can modify the deviation of the computed curves: select one curve in the scene, and move the slider in order to choose to be closer or smoother.
-
Inside the Results section, you can see:
-
The Standard deviation for curves
-
The Max deviation for curves, corresponding to the curve having the maximum standard deviation
-
The Standard deviation for faces
-
The Max deviation for faces, corresponding to the face having the maximum standard deviation
-
Tips & Tricks
A polyline network can be obtained through different workflows:
-
automatically with the command Create Network
-
manually using all the commands creating sections on a mesh. For example, Free Hand Section, Single Breaking Line or Projected Polyline
