Net surfaces


Recommended Posts

Biplap, in regards to an earlier inquiry about features that Rhino has the Vectorworks does not, net surfaces comes to mind, where you have x-number of U curves and Y-number of V curves to create a surface. Essentially, I'm trying to create a shape with a beginning cross section and an ending cross section of totally different shape and different planes but with the same number of verticies. In addition, I also have two "guide curves" which would be V curves in thise case. I have not found a tool in VW that would handle this kind of case. Loft surface comes close, but just one guide rail won't do for this object.

Model->Surface from curves is the one to create surface from a curve network. It also does surface from boundary curves, closed planar curves etc. We didn't want to have a large number of commands to create NURBS surfaces.
