Ok so probably no exactly Coons surfaces. But can i create a surface like
the upper right image?
Also the arc's are not the same, so a sweep action is already out of the
question.
A surface like this very easy to create in Mastercam (v9), it's actually
created with a 'coons surface' tool. I tried to import the surface into
Inventor and try to create a solid with it. It shows the surface in al it's
glory but i haven't been able to create al solid with it.
Thanks.
