    Question TWISTED SURFACES

    Ok back to the original problem. If you look at the back view I have 2 red splines coming down to 2 pink splines. Only they don't meet. When you zoom in real tight you see the red splines are "A" twisted and "B" they don't meet up with with the surface I changed to pink.
    So how does one do a repair and reconnect the dots so to speak.
    While I watched Video 66 Import repair surfaces.
    I don't have matching edges around plates to repair like in the video.
    I'm hoping for some help before Monday when I can get SOD on board.
    The end goal is to combine front and back views into on 3D solid to machine in renshape in 1-50th scale with 3D tool path. I'm running V25 pro.
    Thanks all.

    You could use a line join for those gaps. But instead you should just do a planner surface for each " section" and then do an extrude surface to add the thickness.

    There is a gap because that's how the part was designed....


    Edit****

    Nope you can't do that because the curve is not flat in any one plane. So the planner surface won't work... ; (
