Interpolate Curves/Faces
-
Hi All,
In order to keep my PC from getting too hot under the collar, I generally keep my curves to the default 'not-very-many' segments settings.However when it comes to exporting my faces to use as data for our laser cutting machine, I sometimes find that the curves aren't coming out smooth enough. I'm sure that with a little more experience, I'll get used to finding a nice compromise (the amount of 'melting' of different materials makes a big difference to the amount of smoothing needed.)
In the meantime, is there a simple way (or plugin) that would enable me to 'interpolate' faces by a given factor so that I can get smoother curves (or coarser, to trim the CNC data) without having to redraw lots of geometry.
Here's a picture of a trivial example of what I mean - can I selectively make the inner and outer arches have more or less segments?
Thanks in advance,

I would suggest you give Tgi3d Amorph (upsample feature) a try. Trial for 30 days or for not too many faces training version (free) may work for you.
good luck.

Thanks Ogan,
That looks like just the thing. Lots of other tools in there that look rather useful for making my designs a little more 'voluptuous', too.the Luddite.
