UberNurbs and Boolean combo

[S. Houtzager]

I have created an UberNurbs shape in EIM and the mesh looks really good. I have to split it in half with a boolean operation. I can do the boolean, however the new mesh is "really rough".

EIM asks to convert the Ubernurbs during the boolean. I tried to export the UM as a fact and reimport but it will not take the boolean.

How to create a smooth mesh?

I am afraid EIM is unable to deal with polygon-based models: FACTs are only allowed in a project as reference objects.

Could you post a screen capture of that mesh showing the problem?

Ola S,

First of all, double click in the resulted model of your boolean.

-Disable “Use Projects Setting”

- Use Normal tolerance from 15 or a smaller number, if you use a smaller number will have your model more smooth

- copy the rest of my settings

- Then use the “Apply New Settings” button always when you want to see the result of the new tessellation.

- If you become happy, click the “Copy Display to Export”

- Export as .fact

:)

Thanks

Tom
