Adjust the end points to match the pink polyline. Click again to place a new point in the approximate middle of the line. Insert any additional fillets to the model.

Open training file 08 — Mech Freeform Surface. Figure Upper Surfaces 1. Having the surface more square to the part will allow for higher quality surfaces in the end. Hide only the Mesh Fit 1 surface body using the Model Tree. Figure Figure Join Surfaces 1. Select the Spline tool in the Draw group. Repeat Step 2 for drawing a Spline on Mesh Fit 2 as close to parallel as possible to the first spline, then Accept the Spline.

Figure 5. Click the Exit button in the top left corner to finish the 3D Sketch. Figure Figure 9. This will apply tangency to the lofted surface where it connects to the original surfaces. Reasoning for splitting the spline When trimming a surface by a curve, the split points on the curve will create a separate edge along the surface.

Therefore, the surface edge length can be adjusted for lofting by editing the split points. If the edge lengths are of similar size when lofting, the resulting surface will be smoother and of higher quality.

Hide Surface Loft1 to view the Mesh with Regions on. In the 1st stage of the Loft Wizard, set the location and orientation of the Loft. Of Sections, and set the value to 5. Figure Figure 4. Rotate and adjust the manipulator to stretch the preview planes the long way across side body.

One program that reduces the manual workload comes from 3D Systems, a rapid-prototyping system provider. It comes with a rich set of tools to help you extract and convert scan data into editable geometry.

The latest version sports a Tab Ribbon interface, a departure from the menu driven interface of the past. The software automatically subdivides the scan data into regions, identifiable from their distinct geometric features rounded corners, holes, curved surfaces, and so on.

From those regions, you can extract splines and curves you can use to build 2D profiles for extrusion. One of the useful feature of Design X is its deviation detection system. The process results in an editable feature history, even though the new geometry was not initially constructed in the targeted CAD program.
