Hello all, recently I posted a discussion about the virtues of N-sided surfaces. It was suggested that there is a more robust way of creating the same surface using more traditional means, probably using Boundary Blend & an over build method. It was also suggested that this N-sided surface feature is already classed an obsolete feature & may become completely obsolete in the future. Like I said in my original post, that would be a shame, in fact it would cause me real pain. All that being said, I thought I would try create my typical N-sided surface using Boundary Blend & over build method. I have to say, I have not had much success. There is an old posting showing some very useful tips for dealing with 3, 5 & 6 sided boundaries. I have tried to apply what I saw there but cannot achieve anything close to the quality of the surface I have attached. Anyone want to give it a go?
I have attached the model, unfortunately I got a bit carried away an made the model using Creo 4. I appreciate most people are using Creo 3 & older so I also attached the same surface in igs format. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
John
