    Problem with surface loft

    Ok, that works out pretty well for me. Basically, I'm taking a series of 2D figures (like the one below), and turning them into a 3D model (my progress thus far also below). The research group I'm with is working on spinal cord stimulation, specifically running FEA of electrode arrays on solid...

    Problem with surface loft

    Thanks a lot, the boundary surface method seems to be more promising than lofting. However, trying to recreate it on my own, I keep getting an error that it produces self-intersecting geometry. Is there a good way to fix this? I really appreciate your taking the time to help.

    Problem with surface loft

    Ok, I took all the extraneous stuff out, leaving only the feature I'm having problems with (only 13MB now). Thanks a lot everyone.https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0BwVX99th3bL0Y2NmNzFhYzEtMjczZi00M2Y0LWJiNzUtN2VjNmZmMjc5NmU1&hl=en&authkey=CMf2u6QC

    Problem with surface loft

    Sorry -- google docs doesn't seem to like .sldprt files. This seems to work though. Thanks for the quick response.https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0BwVX99th3bL0MWZmZDhmNjAtZDU3OS00YWM0LTg5NDktZDNhNzQ0MTNkNGUx&hl=en&authkey=CNqq9LUJ

    Problem with surface loft

    I'm trying to render a 3D model of a rat spinal cord using Solidworks 2010, and am having problems doing surface lofts. I've used AutoTrace on each cross section, then fit a spline, and split each one into equal number of segments. For some reason, I have no problems lofting between some...
