Mr. Neukam Johannes 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2016 Hi, I just created a cylinder with two lids on each side. I would like to modify the surface of one of those lids, as I can do with the "planar b-spline surface" option for rectengular patches. Is there a way to add F3DPoints to the lid, or shape a "planar b-spline surface" like the lid? kind regards, Johannes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Simon Broenstrup 1 Report post Posted April 28, 2016 Hi Johannes, it is possible to do this kind of operation. To do so, I would recommend using a Free Form Deformation. I created a small example to show you how it works. For further information please have a look at the Free Form Deformation tutorials.

Mr. Neukam Johannes 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2016 Hi Simon, thanks for the file, I got an error message, because at the moment I am using CAESES free for testing. maybe this is the reason, why I could not see any F3DPoints in your project? Hi Claus, sadly I cannot see the video, is it part of the tutorial? kind regards, Johannes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Claus Abt 14 Report post Posted May 2, 2016 HI Johannes, yes it is part of the video tutorials, named: "how to create a solid from intersections".I am not 100% sure if you mean something like the attached, please check it out ...
