Surface continuity

[alandmarino]

Hi, could someone please help me with this. When using the loft command with smooth option activated, only one of the surface edges are both surface and edge continuous. Is there an option i'm missing?

Thank you!

Can you share the Fusion design?

Does it help if you modify the tangency weight?

Thanks,

Hi Nathan, thanks for the reply.

Yes, tengency weight affects surface smoothness but one of the two edges are still not continuous.

Here's the model: http://a360.co/29j5wa8

Thanks!!

I'm having some difficulty with the public share link. Do you mind posting the archive file?

I was curious if a Zebra Analysis shows if the surfaces are curvature continuous... 

Thanks in advance!

If you add some guide rails to the model you can get a bit more control over the edge. Check out the below screencast for more detail:

Nathan, thank you very very much. Your solution works fine. 

However, it would be nice for future versions to fix this issue as is in other software packages. Maybe i should post this as a suggestion.

Thank you again!!!
