combine / join surfaces?

[kprice1658]

I'd like to join/combine several adjacent surfaces together to make a single large one for a FlowLine toolpath operation. Using it with the individual surfaces make a small break in the toolpath at each edge - instead of a nice smooth complete path. Any thoughts on accomplishing this - without going back to the CAD guys? Using X4 if it makes a difference. Thanks

try using the surface contour insted of the flowline option. it is a bit harder to handle and you might need to add some check surface or bounding frames to make it work correctly but ir should generate a flouent pass over several surfaces.

please try to add a picture or a MCX file, it will be much clearer to understand your end result.

Thank you for your response. I always get a better finish in less time with the flowline than surface contour. I had the cad guy shoot me another file with what I needed.

So, no way to combine / join surfaces in MC?

I know it won't help you but I have seen it done in Esprit. Even with many surfaces onto one.
