:confused:

I have read the manual (which at points refers to things not found in the menus). Have use the inspector tool to insure that all the lines touch each other; I have done three or four different arrangements of direction besides the original form that was there from drawing it. I also went through and did join angles, no joy.

It still gives the "Invalid wireframe for cover surface" error. Now the funny thing is that it only doing it on four of the wireframes of this type (there is differences in many of them but not all). So, what do I need to do or learn so that these last two panel can get done and the next stage of model creation can get done?

Thanks ahead of time for help provided. attached is the file that is my problem.

Okay was a problem with the browser and fixed it by restarting and clearing history and cookies. So here is the file. Again thanks for any help on this issue as the program is really proving to be useful, just need to find out why these small problems are coming up and fix either they way i am doing something or a bug in the program.

Michael

fixed the problem. Must use Aerospace setting so that drift that is acceptable in architecture does not happen.:)

Now comes mirroring and merging, things are starting to look very very good.

Hi Micheal

I tried opening the file in Shark LT v8 and it crashed the program. You created this in ViaCAD v8 correct?

Can you try exporting the file as v7 ViaCAD and reposting?

Thanks
Jason

Michael.
Give some consideration to modeling your part in the solid and carving bits off it, rather than trying to construct it line-by-line in 3d.

I've attached a video that tries to help you in your efforts.
It isn't the quickest way to do it, but just shows a few of the useful tools in your arsenal.

Repeated as well, now fixed.

Hi JF

>>Where is the core of your beta testers? Is it a Shark FX user???

By far the largest number of users are ViaCAD. ViaCAD is sold direct by Encore and by some large brick/mortar retailers (OfficeMax, OfficeDepot, Fry's, Staples).

>>Can we know your strategy for a short and mid time?

Encore has asked Evolution to provide the following products:
--ViaCAD 2D/3D App Store (going through apple certification now)
--ViaCAD 2D (Q3 2011)
--Shark LT (Q3 2011)
--Shark FX (Q4 2011)
--ViaCAD Pro (Q1 2012)

Regarding development, we have one source code for all products. The difference between the products is functionality turn on/off by compile switches. The functional differences is also heavily related to contracts Encore has ( ie Spatial). However, as I develop, I'm usually working with Shark FX.

Regards

Tim
