I have two curves - one at deck level (with camber) and one at bottom level (angled flat surface).
Both curves have been projected from the same source curve on to surfaces at deck and bottom level (deck is hidden in image shown).
I need to generate a curve that wraps smoothly around the fwd outboard corner and believe I need to use the 'skin curves' command.
The command / process worked first time for the aft corner (same deck surface and similar bottom surface) but fails to work with the fwd corner.
I've tried numerous settings in the 'skin curves' dialogue but the surface generated is wrong - see second image.
Are there any obvious pointers someone can provide? I've tried the manual and Bentley YouTube videos without success.
Many thanks, James
In my experience, I would add a surface with the same amount of control points and copy all the control points from each point of the curve, and paste it to my points in my new surface in sequence.Finally, it is only needed to change the stiffness to 3 or 4 to make the new surface as a smooth surface.I hope someone else have better advices for this, cause I rarely use maxsurf modelling from scratch.
Hi Michael,
Thank you for taking the time to reply.
After posting the question I realised the aft curves were comprised of just 3 control points - I think I initially formed them from a cylinder as it was a simple radius. I therefore solved the problem by copying one of the aft curves, mirroring it and then manually changing the curve coordinates so they matched adjacent surfaces. When this was completed for the top and bottom curves the skin curve command worked correctly first time.
Thanks again for your help.
James
