"Hi Vincent- I would flow only one repeat of the pattern that is in the middle of the beginning planar version, then, once that is flowed to the cylinder, make a rotated copy, 180 degrees, to fill the cylinder rather than have the seam on the…"

"I remade this. See if it looks better. There are a few tricks I used: On the very edge of the flow surface there can be mathematical noise. I used a different segment of the surface so that the flow object was away from the…"

About continunity in flow along surface command

Hi all, i would like to ask how to fix the highlighted edge to G1 continunity as the flow along surface does not match well the edge of repeated pattern. I hope this will be improved in the future. Thanks. Here is the link of the file (9.1MB): http://www.sendspace.com/file/16lhqh…See More

"Hi Vincent, Thank you for posting the details. One way to achieve the result you are after is to use 2D pattern, then "extrude". For example, you can split the surface first with the 2D pattern you created (Use Split+Join, or…"

Using paneling tools for injection molds

May i ask if there is any options to allow the pattern created by paneling tools release from the steel mold (i mean deformation for part release from mold)? i am going to make a pattern on cylinder or sphere and that pattern should be able to release from the steel mold, and it is polystyrene (hard plastic) .See More

"hi, i want to know how you rebuild the surface.are you extract the ellipse curve, split it into 4 and then use curve network?"
