surface using points

[B747US]

Hi Guys

Does anybody know how to create surface using points? points are gathered of off 3D part surface using CMM but they are all over the place.

Thanks

The only thing I can think of at the moment is to create splines along the points, picking points that lay within say a certain Z depth of each other, then create more splines depending on variation in Z.

 

Then you will have to loft a surface of the varying splines.

thanks Robk

but didn't work, I send my question to Ernie to see why it didn't work.

 

Hi Lee

what you said was my only way of doing, which since I don’t have a sufficient point pattern I can't do that, points are not in line and don’t have same "Z". I should say you try the Ernie's C-hook, looks like lot of people used and loved it.
