"Hi Pascal,
I tried to do a boolean union of two solids in 5.0. After multiple attempts and testing different solids I keep on getting a missing surface in one of these solids.
I moved my pieces to 4.0 and my boolean…"

Suggestions for UnrollSrf
1 Reply
The command UnrollSrf has a provision for including curves that already exist on the surface. It would be convenient, however, if it also had a provision for including intersections with other…Continue

Another unrolling conundrum

Attached is a RH5 file with a very simple developable surface. When I try to unroll it, instead of unrolling, it coils up into some weird spiral form.-PhilContinue

Boolean bug in RH5
3 Replies
This is to report a singular and, unfortunately, irreproducible bug in RH5. I was attempting to do a union of two intersecting solids but, instead, one of the solids kept disappearing. So I used the…Continue

"One additional request: since there's no control over where the objects created by UnrollSrf are placed, they should either be grouped or selected so that they can be moved without having to window select them. It's too easy for the latter…"

Suggestions for UnrollSrf
The command UnrollSrf has a provision for including curves that already exist on the surface. It would be convenient, however, if it also had a provision for including intersections with other objects. This would eliminate the necessity for littering one's design with a bunch of curves that are used only for unrolling.Another thing that would come in handy when unrolling multiple adjacent surfaces or polysurfaces would be the addition of tick marks along the edges at a definable interval and…See More

"Okay, that worked with no naked edges. Thanks!

"'Sorry about the open left-hand object. In order to simplify the example, I trimmed off most of the left-hand solid, but neglected to recap it. I'll try your remaining suggestions on the full model.
Thanks,

"Hi,
This kind of thing will classically give you problems, anytime you have a curved surface that attempts to match to a flat surface in a near-tangent condition is likely to fail. To see why it does, run Intersect between the two…"

"Some additional info: The problem for RH5 appears to reside with the surface's pointy end. If I trim it off, the surface unrolls normally. Also, the original surface unrolls okay in RH4.

"Hi Pascal,
'Still no joy I'm afraid. I installed the SR candidate and now have "Version 5 (5.1.30129.1756, 1/29/2013)." Attached is the original curve, along with the result of the Unroll.

Helvetosaur replied to Phil Pilgrim's discussion Odd Split behavior
"Both your surfaces are somewhat problematic. Your vertical "side" surface is pretty funky on one end, it folds over on itself - turn on control points and see.
But that doesn't seem to be the principal problem, it's the…"
Phil Pilgrim replied to Phil Pilgrim's discussion Odd Split behavior
"Thanks, Pascal. Attached are two surfaces. The side surface cannot split the top one, even though it completely intersects it. This, however, is only a partial example of the observed behavior, since the curve created with Intersect is incomplete…"
