Hi all - I’ve been working on the life
counter part, which is a patterned version of the sprocket wheel. I then
managed to make the flat pattern and did a projection of the pattern on the 3d
former, only to find this 3d pattern contain numerous gaps and rougly 80 warped
quads,- even worse, when I split these warped quads there then were TONS of new
tiny gaps, making the part look horrible. Not to mention I made the pattern
too small. :-(
My problem probably was that I had made the fills in the pattern by making a
plane quad covering the shape (made of lines), making a cutter file from the
line shape and using Intersector on the quad, which isn’t the best way to go but
it was the only one I saw. I was aware of the gaps, thinking that they were too
small to really hinder the part’s quality. Additionally I used a
non-triangle-condensing cut when gaps showed up and scaling factor didn’t
work...
So, now I plan to remake the pattern. And this time the right way. But first I’d
need a proper technique to make the fill for the line shape. Anybody aware of
something... ? Quad2Dat is out of the question because the background image
feature doesn’t work at all here.

| Hi Santeri, (...) Size doesn't look that bad !? (...) I don't see why you needed to re-do the surface? Why not use the top shape of the part and flatten it? Or maybe there is something I missed? (...) Why shouldn't it work? Though Quad2Dat has a lot (...) (15 years ago, 13-Oct-09, to lugnet.cad)
