Mesh to Surface

[fahim108]

1. Can I convert this polygon mesh (created using EDGESURF) to a lofted surface.
   
2. Alternatively, can this geometry be made using just the LOFT command. I tried my level best but the lofted surfaces hugely differs from the EDGESURFed one.
   

 

I'm trying to get something as close to this...

Here's the DWG model of the same...

Hello Fahim,

Add a new profile between the first and the last one.

See my example,

I'd just add a 3dpline (the red one)

Thanks mate, but I couldn't open your file as I work on an older version of CAD.

 

But hey, I managed to model it out! ...and its very simple, I just had to select the opposite edges while lofting and not the adjacent ones.

Where there's a will there's a way. Just goes to show you can't keep a good, smart man down.

Hello Fahim,

Sorry I post a good version. Your way is simpler than mine

Bien jouer !

Bye

In your case, use these settings, do not use the SOLIDIFICATION (SOLIDIFICA).

I apologize in advance for my English but I used the automatic translator of google.

 

 

Using MeshToSurf

 

The procedure creates a surface that approximates a polygon mesh Loft as constructed through a set of curves (spline) defined by the vertices of the mesh.

 

The surface is built allows choosing between two different types of construction:

- Cross sections constructed on the vertices in the direction of M Mesh (option SEZIONI)

- Contour consists of the first section, last and guide curves, type EDGESURF (option CONTORNI)

 

Solidification option (SOLIDIFICA) allows you to turn the area into a solid by extrusion normal to the horizontal plane (UCS -> W).

 

To solidify pay attention to the fact that the original mesh has been built without overlapping faces (if seen from above), a classic type DTM.

 

 

Note: The AutoCAD command Thicken instead creates a type of solid extrusion normal to the surface.

 

 

Essert I hope I helped.

@GP_: I would definitely give that a try... once I reach home.
