Tangency on branched grooves

Hello All:I have a project where I need to add some branching grooves and I'm trying to figure out the best way to construct the grooves at the intersection. I would like to keep the same shape,…Continue

Hello:I recently upgraded from V4 to V5 and am happy with all the new features. My only issue so far has been when I try to output an stl file the programs seems to go into an infinitie loop. I get…Continue

"Pascal:
Thanks for the response - very similar to the ideas I had already used - whci makes me feel good about them. As always i appreciate your insight.
Regards,
Todd"

"Here is a slightly different approach- this is G2- the blue surface is a BlendSrf, the Cyan one a Sweep2, Red is Sweep1 as before.

"Hi Todd- see if the attached is of any use- two Sweep1 (red) and a patch surface, blue. This is only tangent across the top, not curvature continuous of course.

Tangency on branched grooves
Hello All:I have a project where I need to add some branching grooves and I'm trying to figure out the best way to construct the grooves at the intersection. I would like to keep the same shape, depth , tangency etc.,. Any ideas for how to best construct this area. I have attached a couple screen shots and the file in V5. Thanks,…See More

"Hi Pascal:
Thanks for the reply. My work around was that I exploded the polysurface and trimmed the surfaces separately and then re-joined the surfaces and it was fine. So, tomorrow when I start working on the project again I will dup…"
Pascal Golay replied to Todd Miller's discussion Half of surface turns transparent after trim
"Hi Todd- can you please post, or send me the surface and curve? My guess is that if you hide the trimming curve, then Untrim, with KeepTrimObjects=Yes, then retrim the surface with the resulting curve, it may clean up the meshing. However, I'd…"

Hello :I am using Rhino 5 on my MAc via boot camp. I have noticed a bug since I started using Rhino 5 and was wondering if there is any fix for this.basically, periodically after I trim a surface or polysurface with a curve, part of the surface or poysurface turns transparent. In the shaded view you can still see the isocurves, but part of the surfce area is transparent. I have attached 3 images. 1. Before the trim in shaded view.2. After the trim in shaded view.3. After the trim in render…See More

"That is a pretty fine mesh if it's a shoe-sized object and the mesh edge length is limited to 0.1mm max everywhere... How many polys does V4 make with those settings?

I think I may have solved the problem. I just tried creating an stl on the same footwear model i tried earlier today that wasn't fnished after 30 minutes and changes the setting to a less dense mesh. BasicallY changed all…"

"Hi Pascal:
Thanks for the quick reply.
Yes - when I create an stl for a simple cube - no problem.
And yes - I do use the mesh dialog box to adjust setting according to my model and the use for the RP part.
My general settings are:
Density 1.0
Min…"

"Hi Todd-My guess is that the meshing process is the hangup, meshing having changed somewhat in V5, so settings may need to change- when you export, do you set the meshing dialog at all? The simple dialog lets you set the maximum distance…"

Unable to create .stls in Rhino V5
Hello:I recently upgraded from V4 to V5 and am happy with all the new features. My only issue so far has been when I try to output an stl file the programs seems to go into an infinitie loop. I get the spinning circle that never stops and don't get a .stl file.I am running Rhino V5 in my Apple MacBook Pro using Boot Camp. I never had any problems with V4. In fact, I can save the V5 file back as a V4 and then open it in V4 and create the .stl fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.See More
