I've been struggling for longer than I'd care to admit trying to finish the bow section of the Donzi 16 (speed boat) I'm modelling. This tutorial has rescued my project and my sanity! Thank you!!

Good to hear! I've used this technique on a rowing hull, worked well.

This was such a great tutorial and an elegant solution to many surfacing issues my team has faced. Thank you so much for this!!

Great tutorial! This will definitely save me a lot of hours trying to figure it out by myself. Thank You

This tutorial saves my life! I was feeling really frustrated as I don’t understand why I could offset the surface and now I know!

Excellent video. When you did have the end part of the dome to surface, instead of doing a surface trim to create a 4-sided shape & boundary surface, could you have done a surface fill instead? Thanks!

Yes, using a fill surface is always an option, but there can be downsides to using a fill surface, hence this technique.

Dear Andrew...what a fantastic video.....the way you demonstrated...simply superb...cover both for beginner's as well for advance...I have a drg.with me and the solid model for same drg prepared by my friend which is not able to help me now...can you help me at one stage I m stucked...REPLY ME PLEASE...

Hi there. Do you have a question about the tutorial? Or if it is about a work request please email me. Cheers.

Is it possible if we eliminate the hard edges altogether? (besides selecting the shaded view with no edges option) During CNC fabrication, will the edges show?

The phantom edges are tangent. The only edges that’ll be visible on a machined item are G0 edges that form creases +

Andrew, I assume this was a tutorial of how to use the "boundary" function. Is it possible to just use the "loft" function at the beginning and get the same results? If so it would seem to me a much easier approach with a lot less work, but I am only beginning my studies of surfacing.

@AndrewJacksonDesignStudio

Hi there. You can use boundary or loft to build this geometry, the fundamental thing this video demonstrates is to avoid making degenerate edges (singularities, collapsed edge) as I explain at the beginning. Loft is the same as boundary surface in regards to using 4 sided surfaces. You can use a surface fill with optimise unchecked (creates an overbuilt surface that is automatically trimmed) but there can be other issues that arise using surface fill. Here's some links with more info.

Would it still have corner singularities if it was modeled full and not mirrored?

@AndrewJacksonDesignStudio

3 жыл бұрын

Yes, as you'd be modelling to a single smooth, closed boundary. An option would be to use fill surface with some constraint curves.

Is there any reason why you wouldn't use a G2 or G3 surface condition over a G1 connection for this type of geometry?

@AndrewJacksonDesignStudio

Guess it depends on your design intent. Also, the dreaded SW wrinkles adjacent to boundaries.

I'm able to follow up to 3:50 but when I attempt to create a solid it generates an error "cannot create solid. Use boundary surface feature." Any thoughts? Running SW 2018.

Hi, it sounds like you are adding a boundary solid feature rather than a boundary surface feature. You should use insert>surface>boundary surface. Thanks for checking out the tutorial.

Precisely the issue. Thanks!

Just marking the steps for this method: a. Final shape 4:09 using simple boundary operation. b. However, the actual problem 4:30. Need break part into 2 steps. Each step=4 edgers. c. Breaking surface Part 1 7:51. Looks simple. d. Breaking surface Part 2 10:09 The tip plus "trim back" with "3 edges".

Im doing a similar thing but I want to convert to sheet metal afterwards. How do I do that? Do you have another video?

@AndrewJacksonDesignStudio

2 жыл бұрын

The surfaces are not developable - they are curved in both directions, so doubt you can convert to sheetmetal, with flattening. You can try the surface flatten feature if you need a flat pattern.

Hey Andrew, would this work: a.) Trim this geometry in half; keep the nose portion, but delete the back. b.) [boundary surf] the edge of the nose portion → to the sketched edge of the back Ofcourse, you would have to make a "copy" of the sketch edge of back because it would be initially consumed.

It would have been easier to use filled surface

@AndrewJacksonDesignStudio

3 жыл бұрын

Always an option. Downsides are : loosing some control - having a surface that may be trimmed on every boundary - sometimes looser tangency tolerance on edge conditions - not being able to use selection manager. Also sometimes filled surface can go haywire and if this happens in a complex model, when the filled surface is high up the feature tree, it can be a pain to trouble shoot.
