Hi everyone! First of all, I’ve been following this forum for a few weeks and have learned a lot — thank you!
I’m pretty new to surface modeling, and one of the things I struggle with most is visible transitions between smooth surfaces (see pic 3).
I’m currently following @colinreay approach from the Designing elegant 3D-printed dropouts in fusion360 - #12 by colinreay
Here is an example I’m working on right now:
What I did was extrude my sketch silhouette (pic 1). Then I have created two additional shapes (pic 6) to have more control over the form. I used the Patch tool to create smooth shapes between edges of the ‘tool’ extrusions.
The issue is that, with this approach, the tangency doesn’t work as I would expect it to for the two additional edges. (see pics 4 and 5 — edge #2).
