Surface Panel Mode Not Working With Trimmed Surfaces

by Usmi H

Jun 21, 2022

Hi Santiago,

I would like to ask another question. I am trying to use Surface Panel Mode. It works well for Untrimmed Surfaces but when I try to provide Trimmed Surfaces as input surfaces then it does not recognize this kind of surface. 

Is it an intrinsic behavior of the Skindesigner or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks again for your time and response :)

    Hi Usmi,

    I noticed that your trims have 5 or 6 edges. The limitation of Surface panel mode is that it only accepts quads(4 edges) or triangles(3 edges).

    Also, if you will be working with trims, please note that sometimes is good practice to grab the edges of the trimmed surface (Brep edges component)and generate a new surface with it (Boundary Surfaces component) to get a clean untrimmed surface matching the trimmed one.

      Thank you so much for the solution, I wanted to ask the same, and now I have the answer. I am a gamer and I Just checked out the PlayFortuna Casino Review on https://bestcasinoplay.com/online-casinos/playfortuna/ bestcasinoplay, and I have to say it's spot-on. The 5/5 ratings across the board, especially for bonuses, mobile experience, and customer support, got me intrigued. If you're into online casinos, this one seems like a winner. The detailed analysis and high ratings convinced me to give PlayFortuna a shot – definitely looking forward to those impressive jackpots!
