Irregular Volume while using Loft?

Anonymous

Hello, I'm trying to create a box with asymmetric fillets and G2 curves (continuous curvature) by lofting a profile to have a result as smooth as possible. However, the resulting surface seems to be flawed, as the curvature map analysis detects irregularities in the volume. I have tried using more profiles and rails but the result still seems irregular... Is there anything I could be missing? Would also modeling this box as a surface then converting it to a solid give a better result? Many thanks in advance for your help!

None of your curves lend themselves to create G2 curvature continuity!

A curve that is going to be curvature continuous at both ends needs to be at least a 5-degree curve.

A single-span 5-degree curve has 6 control points.

The fit point splines in FUiosn 360 are 5-degree multi-span splines.

 

To understand that lingo above I would recommend to read through the Autodesk Alias Theory Builders. 

Then re-create the design based on what you've learned and post it again.
