working with breps

[Guest Ms. Dafni Sofiadi]

Hi,

 

I have a hull that consists both of breps and nurbs. How can I create a surface group including the whole hull and make a transformation to that so that I create sections afterwards?

 

Thank you in advance,

Dafni Sofiadi

Hi Dafni,

 

Basically, breps are trimmed surfaces - they would not fit in a surface group.

Anyway, you can create section (with the help of a section group) with mixed input of breps and surfaces.

 

Do you need basic transformations (like translation / rotation) or shift transformations? Basic transformations can simply be applied to breps (general -> transformation) and imagesurfaces.

 

If you need shift transformations (like a delta shift), I would rather transform the generatiod sections (with the help of an imageoffsetgroup). Shifting a brep is currently considered as experimental, since it is time consuming and might sometimes even fail.

 

If you have an example geometry, I could take a look to give you an idea of the process.

 

Cheers,

Stefan
