Problems with Patching

[Henrik]

Hello.

I have a problem making a smooth organic form with surface patching. 

Does anyone know if it is my geometry that is the problem or is there a function that can smooth the shape out.

I uploaded my file and som pictures.

Are you patching or lofting?

IPT is missing, perhaps because of 3 file upload restriction with one topic input.

You can attach it with a separate answer.

Have you tried using Freeform to achieve smoother results?

Hi! Purely based on my own experience, I don't believe Boundary Patch will yield good result for this case. It is because BP creates underdefined geometry. The surface is curvature or tangent continuous. As long as the surface fits the boundary and the guide curves, it will be a legitimate solution.

As James suggested, try using Loft. It may generate a better result in this case. Please share the file here. Forum experts can help take a look and propose other workflows.

Many thanks!

Hello again

Thanks for the inputs. I solved it with a loft. It's not perfect but it will do. Lucky for me i need to produced the form in wood. So we can be sanded to make et smooth.
