+ | =====Advice from a user===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Use an absolute tolerance of 0.0001. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Model only the organic parts of the model in Rhino, leaving features such as fillets, shelling, ribs, etc., for SOLIDWORKS. | ||
+ | |||
+ | SOLIDWORKS usually does not consider Rhino tangencies to be tangent. Fortunately SOLIDWORKS provides some work-arounds with face fillets. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Another thing you can do is select the entire chain of //near tangent// edges in SOLIDWORKS. The filleter will then build a piece-wise fillet with //near tangent// segments, which are tangent within human perception. SOLIDWORKS helps with these problems with its right-click Select Tangent feature, which works on both edges and faces. This is an enormous help when filleting imported models. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Shelling, by nature, sometimes requires that surfaces extend, but if your Rhino model has a singularity or other peculiarity where the extension should occur, then shelling is likely to fail. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Small wrinkles will stall the sheller if the curvature of the wrinkle is smaller than the requested wall thickness. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Try to model with smooth, over-sized slab surfaces whenever possible. Import | ||
