Troubleshooting / The mystery of the magical vanishing background bitmap
« Last post by Will J on March 21, 2013, 03:56:45 AM »Hi guys,
I occasionally have an extremely irritating problem, my dog likes to pee on a specific part of the garden and it's killed a perfectly circular patch of grass. JK.
Also I have another problem. Sometimes when I've set up background bitmaps in Rhino, one or two seem to disapear when I hide a layer or object. It makes no sense at all, why would a bitmap be dependent on the visibility of a layer or object? Has anyone else encountered this? Any way to fix it? Thanks

Modeling / Re: How to blend surfaces
« Last post by arialzaffir on January 17, 2013, 08:30:12 AM »Ye nae can! The resulting surface would be curved in XYZ. Rhino only supports 2 dimensional curvatures on single surfaces. A sphere in rhino is a 2 dimensionally curved surface, mind that!

I am talking about the U-Shaped metal piece mostly. thanks! I struggle at these shapes. I am using the Mac version of Rhino mostley, but have access to the Windows one, if need be.

Modeling / Argh. How can I trim this surface?
« Last post by adt2 on August 17, 2012, 10:42:02 AM »In the attached image, I am trying to trim the transom surface (the black surface on the left) to the six surface edges that intersect it (two each hull sides, chine flats, and hull bottoms) and the arc drawn from the top corner of one hull side to the other (on the bottom in the image as the hull is upside-down).
How I got here: I modeled the hull (sides, chine flats, and bottom) from an existing table of offsets. The table stopped one station short of the transom, so I drew a separate surface for the transom with the correct camber and proper rake, then positioned it the correct distance aft of the last given station. I couldn't get the "extend trimmed surface" command to extend the sides/chine flats/bottom to the new surface, so I deleted the surfaces, used Extend curve to extend the sheer/chine/keel curves to the new surface, and then re-created the surfaces. All of which goes to say, I'm reasonably sure the fore-and-aft surfaces actually meet the transom surface.
Finally, I drew an arc from the top, aft corner of one hull side to the other, with the midpoint at the midpoint of the top edge of the transom surface. The transom surface shape is now fully defined, but oversize.
I tried Trim, selecting all the surfaces and the arc as cutting surfaces, and the transom surface as the surface to be cut, but nothing happens. Now I'm stuck. No idea how to trim the transom surface properly.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
