I have been trying to patch up a surface for literally twelve hours. I cant get the surface and trim method to work because the it is not just a plannar surface. It is a complex curved surface.
The surface has 550 panels. Its a large part. I unstitched all the panels to try and gain access to just the edges I want.
The hole I am trying to close is not a closed edge and that is the issue. Im trying to make it a closed edge. So I unstitched the surface and then added a line (sketch) where I want the close surface to be so I can try and use the patch tool. The patch tool will only auto select the edges of the panel even when I try and force it to select the edge I tell it to.....
Im at a loss. I need to basically create an artificial closed surface of a complex shape. Im trying to piece it together in other words and then stich it all up.
On the picture example below I created the line across and im trying to get a patch in that square essentially. Its not really a square its an off camber flat plane. If I try and use the patch command instead of using the edges I selected it selects the edges of an entire panel like im showing in photo two.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
