An often overlooked primary surfacing tool in Rhino is EdgeSrf (Surface menu > Edge curves. This tool takes 2,3 or 4 curves as inputs at its edges- two makes essentially a loft, 3, assuming they meet end to end makes a surface with a singularity and four makes the four edges of a NURBS surface. A nice characteristic of the command is that like Loft and unlike say, NetworkSrf, it pays attention to the input curve structure, making it possible to make very simple, clean surfaces.

Hi Mandy:

Glad you find the content useful. Unfortunately YouTube is the only option available at this point. Contact your tech support team and see if you can get them to give you a temporary pass to YouTube.

Sorry for the trouble,
Adam

Just wanted to update, as i was fixing one of my messups i found out why i was having problems with the full round filet in video 4. When i did the thicken i did it to “side one” which thickened it to the outside, i switched it to side two which thickened it to the inside. After i switched it to side two i can now do the full round filet with no problems.

not a big deal just went in through your viemo video list and got it that way. Also had the same problem as Depp with the filet, but just used a different one instead to get it to work. Thanks

Comment on iPad “crowned” surface by adam

Hi Gary:

Many thanks for the encouragement. Chances are that your fillet is too big. Try decreasing the radius value to something very low–like .01mm–and see if it works. If it does, that’s your problem.

For what it’s worth, a solid modeler like SpaceClaim or SolidWorks would probably do a better job with filletting than Rhino.

All the best,
Adam

Adam, I have followed all the tuts I can find that you have made. Thank you so much. What a delight! You make it fun and your great teaching ability shines through.

I make name jewellery as in name necklaces etc. I can’t find anyone who can answer this question. If you take say, the letter R, and extrude it about 1mm and then try to get a rounded edge effect on all of the top edges, even inside the top part of the R where the hole is, it never seems to work. It often fails with those bits shooting off into space. I am looking for an easy and quick way to do this as I make about 7 letters in each name. Is it possible?

I don’t want to take up your time so feel free not to reply. But, keep up the wonderful work and enjoy your work as I feel you do!

All the best,
Gary from Australia

Thanks, Depp. Glad you enjoy the videos.

There are a number of situations that could cause the error you mention, but suffice it to say that if the full-round fails, you have two options: 1) try to make a different type of fillet work, or 2) try to figure out what’s causing the failure. Obviously number 2 is the better option in the long run, but it’s also more difficult, and takes more experience and experimentation.

There is about a 90% chance that with this form, the root of your problem is the surface creating the pour spout. If there is anything wrong with that surface, it may cause the full-round fillet to fail. Try adjusting the size and tension of pour spout and see if you can get the fillet to work.

Good luck!

Adam

Hello Adam,
You have been doing a great job with these videos. I am a beginner in Solidworks. In video number 4 at time 5:45 you teach the “Fillet” using “Full Face Round”. Despite of me doing that, solidworks gives me an error, “Rebuild Error: Failed to create fillet. Please check the input geometry and radius values or try using the “Face Fillet” option. Could you please help me with this error. Thanks
Keep up the good work.

Hi Adam. I just completed watching your rhino intro tutorials. Well done! I especially liked all the nurbs modeling insights you provided. McNeel should take notice.
