Surface Patch from Sketch lines

peterg7X5LU — Tue, 27 Oct 2020 13:49:03 GMT

Hi,

I am having trouble creating a surface patch from 4 curves.

- I believe the curves are connected, though I could be wrong.

- I cannot seem to select all 4 curves when performing the patch operation. This is probably the cause of the issue.

Unfortunately I have not been able to find an online solution to this, partly because of a lack of time. The curves I am trying to patch are highlighted below:

I have uploaded the file, and will be very grateful if somebody could take a look please..

The design you posted has what appears to be 4 complete designs drawn one on top of each other. I think that's where the problem is. I tried but cannot figure out what curves are intended for Patch.

Can you try to simplify this sketch so that the curves you see are the only ones you need to use in the Patch operation?

Is there a way I can hide certain sketch lines within the sketch to make the ones I am talking about clearer? I don't want to delete them as there are shapes based off of them.

there appears to be a duplicate post for the same problem: surface-patch-from-sketch-lines

Yes, I couldn't find a way to move my original post to this section, so I had to create a new one.

Plus I can't see how to delete or close the old post.

I have created a new sketch with just those curves in for you to look at, and attached the file to this reply.

Here is the new screenshot:

We are aware of some cases like this example.

Try using loft instead. Sorry for any inconvenience.
