how to use skin tool in new Alias

this is really sad to ask but the manual does not explain what is going on:

 

I cannot make the skin / loft tool work right.

 

1. I cannot select more than 2 curves to loft

2. I get a lot of distrotions

All I want is to loft / skin those rings and I am sure it worked before!

Both skin tools work fine here.

Remeber to press SHIFT when skinning more than 2 curves. It will keep skinning untill you like.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but is it possible to remove the "P" markings when using the skin tool?

When I press F12 to see the model without any of the edge lines (or whatever they're called), everything disappears except for these ugly green lines.

Sure!

P T or C just delet locators.

Hope it helps, happy modelling.

Hi dchang.id,

 

 

Positional Continuity – Only check for gaps between surfaces (labeled with “P” symbols).

Tangent Continuity – Check for gaps and tangent discontinuities (labeled with “T” symbols).

Curvature Continuity – Check for gaps, tangent, and curvature discontinuities (labeled with “C” symbols)
