Rounding Corners
-
Hello, SU users!
I am fairly new to SU. And I'm learning something new everyday and it's great and frustrating.
Anyway, I'm trying to make this shape (Item 1) have rounded edges. I tried the RoundCorners plugin but it comes out with broken edges (Item 2). Is there another way to make the corners round?
Thanks a lot, guys!

Hello! Thanks for the reply, sir! Here's the file in version 6 as requested.

You need to use a neater mesh. The vertices don't coincide and will result in strange behaviour from roundcorner.
-
Err... how do I do that?
Right now, I am using the SoapSkinBubble plugin to make that mesh.

Here's what I would do :
1- remove the top surface and then clean all the top edges so they match only with the geometry from outside and inside .
2 - use Curviloft plugin to create a new,cleaner top geometry
3 - use Tools on surface to create 4-5 contours of the top geometry, then start pushing down the edges/contours to create a round edge .
4 - If you are looking for a smoother result, you need to remove the extra small segemts that were created from the diagonalsLot of work, but it is worth it if your looking for almost perfection.

Wow... that Curviloft plugin is amazing. Thanks!
