Hi there,

I am trying to create a surface, can someone help me achieve this?

With "Surface-Net", I was able to create a surface, but this surface doesn't have the contour I need.
I tried a few different methods but was unsuccessful and "Surface-Net" was closest I got.
In photo #3, the surface doesn't follow the cross rib lines and off the contour. How do I make it
follow the lines?

"Surface-Swept" sounds promising, but I just couldn't figure out how to use it.

Please see the attached photos if interested.

Thank you so much in advance,

Here you go in X5 and made with net surface this touch's all curves.

Wow, very good. Would you be kind enough to how you selected each chain?
I tried this 'net surface' and didn't come out like this one. Thank you! -Ken

I picked net surface used window around the wire,Then picked the lower left hand corner as the search point and set for along. that's it.

Wow that's amazing that works so nice. Some of that wire frame is not even touching each other and it trimmed it up beautifully. I never knew to use this. This is great to know.

High_Speed the other option was to go back to the old option of Coons surface that is a Chook these days but this was replaced back in the beginning of X series of MC to replace Coons complexity.

@cadcam Sounds nice, I'll try this thing myself. Hopefully I can generate the same beautiful surface as you did Thank you so much!
