subdivision to shell


Recommended Posts

I've read on the forum that there are or were issues with converting a complex subdivision object ( that is something other than the primitive forms) to a shell. I've tried converting to NURBs, 3D Polys or Generic Solid but that doesn't work.

Has anyone figured out the best way to do this?

There was another thread about this before. I did a bunch of simple examples and some worked, others did not even if the curvature was similar. It seems more related to where curves change direction or where the shell would be self intersecting. Often shelling will work if set to outside but fail if set to inside.
