Stucked out on trying to fill a surface

Anonymous

I'm trying to loft a gap on my body but it returns an error and I don't know how to get around on this problem.

 

Is there any trick to make it works? Or any other way to fill it up?

 

I will appreciate if somebody can help me.

 

Thanks!

I was able to use a simple patch surface and then stitch it to .01mm tolerance with existing surface body.

I did this with Group edges [Connected] but you could try some alternate edge connection options.

Is this good enough?

You can get the loft to solve as shown but you're left with large gaps on the side that will not stitch without huge tolerances. 

You can probably fix this by fixing the original body to make it cleaner for a loft with rails.

Hi the @TheCADWhisperer , in fact it is not enough because if you analyse well, there is a Gap between your loft and the previous body. I already did like this but it is not enough due the gap between the surfaces.

I didn't pay close enough attention.

 

If you Edit the Stitch feature and increase the Tolerance so that it stitches as a solid body - is that result close enough?

the main problem here is that this geometry is very messy.  Lots of large tolerances on the edges and vertices, and the model itself even showed some errors when checked with our internal tools.  All 4 of these faces had errors:

Do you know the origins of this geometry?

 

I would not recommend any solution that involves stitching with a large tolerance.  You may be able to get to the next step, but you will be likely to run into other problems down the road, as this would be just increasing the geometry issues with this model.

 

I would be tempted to rebuild this part in Fusion natively.  It will be work, certainly, but my guess is it will be less work than all the fiddling you will have to do to get this version to work.

I agree with @jeff_strater , the geometry of this part would benefit from being rebuilt in fusion.  if this is the last tweak to the model then the lofting already presented may suffice, it stitches together at a .2mm tolerance.  if you want to preserve the look a little more you could break the surfaces down a little more.  the attached stitches at a tolerance of .035mm, which is a lot better, but still not great.

I understand well what you said and agreed about it, you are right, this geometry is not good and this is the reason.

 

I will try to rebuild it from beginning maybe it is the best way to get a good geometry.

 

Thanks for the tips and response from everybody that tried to help me.
