distort pattern, facets using triangles

[sajid.rashid5FGLL]

Hi,

I can create the pattern above, but cant  distort it in the way i'd like. (gaps appear and it just does not look right)

It would be nice if i get it to look like this https://youtu.be/1rajQ_6EiZI?t=460

any ideas greatly appreciated  ?

Thank-you.

If you want to distort the body you have to do it in the sketch since in CAD the geometry is derived from a sketch.

But since you patterned it, you cannot do this.

So, the alternatives are:

1. Don't use pattern and draw your variation in the sketch.
or

2. Use t-splines in box mode and push/pull your vertices to give the appearance you want. Then export the t-spline cage and don't use smoothing.

Lastly, you can use a polygon modeling software to do this where you will have access to pull the vertices *and* deform the mesh.
