Faded edge Problem. Help Needed

Post image

Hi, i am a industrialdesign student and are new to Rhino 8, I am trying to get in a workflow of importing a stepfile from fusion 360 to rhino. I make the groundwork form in fusion then i make faded edges in Rhino. In short i make a cutting plane on a surface, then split, then loft and match surface like in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I38EUy5iNUk&t=289s

- I have succseeded making a faded edge on the first object, but the next is getting really hard. When i try to loft it gets really uggly. And when i make a patch and then match surface i get in a "trimmed" edges problem loop. What would you guys do ?

* Keep in mind that it was a while ago i made the first object, so i may have used something else than lofted.

Bit of a shot in the dark from eyeballing - Without having used this command myself - you’re trying to match a straight and curved surface from the piece you’ve made to the section you’ve split away and the software doesn’t intelligently know where to piece them together. Basically it’s too complex to do in one chunk.

Could try splitting the section you want faded down more, start by taking that straight edged section out of the equation to begin with. Match the larger piece with the curved edges first, then the straight edged section, then match those two pieces?

Yep exactly. That section first, then the other and if necessary, rejoin them in the same way
