Surfacing Indentation Direction

Hi Everyone,

I have created a surface between four curves using Through Curve Mesh. As you can see on the images the cross curves are different and the transition creates an indentation starting from the cross curve on the left. I would like to vary the direction of this indentation to match the direction of the red line.
How can I achieve this?

Many thanks for your help.

As you are selecting the curves you have the ability to change the direction of each curve.

The curve direction of each selection is determined by the what end of the curve you are closest to when picked.

I think you are trying to make a single surface "do to much" in one go.
One must when working with surfaces be prepared that "sharp corners" does not / cannot exist on an edge such as the one seen to the left, the surfacing software will approximate that into a small "bend". -Within the distance tolerance of that surface, there is a tiny tiny gap at that corner.
( this is unless the surfacing software allows G0/C0 seams between patches which NX/Parasolid does not. )

Try create a new curve in the direction of that red marker in the picture and create two separate surfaces instead. Then that indentation should follow.

Regards,
Tomas
