- Stuart,
-
- Is there any work being done on a way to automate the conversion of a set
- of splines into a set of polygons? I like modelling with splines, but I
- find the process of converting them into patches a section at a time kind
- of a pain. Isn't there some way to take a "mesh" of splines and convert
- the whole thing to a polygon mesh in one go?
-
- On a related note, I find the process of patching splines to be, um, kinda
- random. I cannot seem to predict how the polygons will be created given
- the orientation and order of selection of the splines. Can you give me
- some pointers here? I often have to take three or four cracks at creating
- the patch, flipping the splines and choosing them in different orders,
- before the patch will be made properly. What are the rules?
-
- Thanks for any light you can shed on this.
