![]() ![]() When I leave the Freeform environment, Inventor fills my balloon full of concrete which sets instantly… (kind of, it’s only an analogy).Ī non-manifold surface may have gaps, or in this case, overlapping edges that the T-Splines plug-in inside Inventor can’t use to calculate a solid volume. I like to think of my Freeform model as a rubbery balloon. The model is one complete lump and there are no gaps between the edges of the surface model. Manifold means that the surface is completely watertight. Each T-spline surface model you create will be a ‘manifold’ surface. ![]() This sounds easy, right? but there are a few ‘Gotchas’ you will need to look out for.Īutodesk Inventor 2015 can’t create open T-spline surfaces (yet!). To convert your T-spline model into a Brep (Solid) model you simply need to leave the Freeform environment and Inventor will do the conversion on the fly. T-spline surfaces are created in the Freeform modelling environment. Inventor’s T-spline tools allow us to create smooth shapes with complex curvature without having to spend a lot of time and effort constructing a surface model. In this post we will troubleshoot a couple of the common issues you may come across while learning this new toolset. Autodesk Inventor 2015’s Freeform T-Spline modelling tools bring us some great new options for modelling complex, organic shapes. ![]()
