SOR blues

Post by Jeff Swart »

Hello again,
This follows my previous thread http://www.dynoinsight.com/phpBB3/viewt ... f=2&t=3052

In my objects Color is off as you will see. Also, on the gear hub, instead of sharp corners, I have rounded corners.

See the circled area in the wireframe below: it is sharp

When the lines are hidden (Surface mode), the corners appear rounded.

Regards, Jeff

Jeff,
1. The gear model is a mesh. It has wrong (internal) normals. If this is an SOR converted to mesh, reverse order of points in the original
strip
2. The pinion is SOR and the strip has wrong order. Construct it in reverse order. Correct order for a closed strip for a simple cylinder
with a hole is in (Z,R) coordinates: (2,2) (1,2) (1,1) (2,1)
3. The line in the pinion is straight. Four point is enough to define it. No need to add internal points. It will work faster

Regards
Nick
