blend settings? NX6

[Rob_N]

is there any setting that will give me everything that "previews" when I do a 13mm face blend between the orange and cyan surface groups?...

I know the model is not "pretty", but it will work just fine for my purpose.

I can make it work if extract all the faces and do multiple individual blends, then use through mesh curves to booger in the problem areas. But it would be easier if I could get all the "previewed" surfaces in one shot, then do my trims.

thanks in advance.

I do appreciate your input as well capnhook, I don't have access to 7.5 and probably wont until we start getting files that NX6 cant open... By then we'll probably have to pay all over again for the software, LOL

Some of my problem is I fudged one of the original faces...

After reading the other replies, i realised i made the wrong face blend. Here is my other solution. Created with two face blends and it works, although it gives a warning for sharp edges in the first blend it still works.

Best regards,

Michäël.

hmm, in 12 years of using UG, I don't think I've every tried to use face blend on surfaces already sewed together... I always used Edge Blend

Perfectly legitimate. Face blend also works well on solid bodies. I occasionally use it when a regular edge blend fails (which is becoming more and more rare with the later releases).

Hey now MickyV007,

There's a leak in your part (between the red and green faces I highlighted).....

Can edges be "more tangent" in one direction than they are in the other?

I smell a bug...
