Hello everyone. :)

I'm making Subaru Impreza WRX B22 (my first car), and I need your help.

Look at my file, I use Birail 3+ Tool to create a surface but it didn't work (4 lines as profile & 2 as rail).

I can't understand why it doesnt' work! :annoyed:

I'm sure that all lines were touching (Birail 2 are working, but made it piece by piece is not a good result).

If you want I can send you a file...

Ah, sorry for my very bad english.:hmm:

Maybe that all curve must have an identical number of vertix?

Make sure all the curves are going in the same direction.


Also try using the square tool for the biral 2 surfaces i find it much better to use.

the input crvs neednt have the same number of knots nor directn, tho your results maybe cleaner and more predictable if they are!
there are some conditions that will make the railing fail, even if they suggest it shouldnt, but a small budge sets it straight.

i have written a little script that maintains end point interesectn of profiles and rails, its called railSnap, and can be found on highend3d.

Really ?? i can never get birail 3+ to work unless they have the same number of cv's adn the curves go the same direction.

yep. often not the prettiest of results due to mixed paramaterisatn, but it can pop a surface out, just as you can w lofts.

Just make sure your spline edges are snapped together. Just resnap all of them again. It should tell you in the script editor which one isn't touching properly.
