Surface tangency

Post by Pauvres_honteux »

Hi, I'm a bit curious if there are plans for surface tangency when sweeping, extrapolating, lofting and extruding?
And perhaps G1, G2 and G3 continuity?

At the moment I calculate my surfaces as BSpline surfaces "by hand", that means
collect point data,
interpolate, approximate
cut the interesting segments

having a set of poles,weights etc. for a surfaces is the best way to avoid unexpected effects.

for lofts there are somesimpel gui- "tricks" , see:
