How to create smooth transitions between surfaces when the round tool fails

kimo · August 2020

Hi,

I wish to create a smooth transition between these 2 surfaces, the pull tool's round feature fails often for this type of complicated geometry.

I also tried merge faces in the repair tab but when it does work the surface comes out highly corrupted and can't be meshed properly

Thank you!

Try the Blend Tool, keyboard B.

First project a line onto each surface, and use those new edges with the Blend Tool.

If you put the .scdoc file inside a .zip file, you can attach it to your reply if you need more help.

Hi Peter

Thank you very much for your comment

I'm not sure if I interpreted your instructions correctly, but it did inspire me to use the blend tool to smooth out the edge in a non perfect way

I split the corner surfaces and blended them together as below.

While this definitely helps I'm wondering if I can further smooth out the curved edge and triple interections as well.

I attached the zip in case I'm not understanding

Thank you!
