I have been looking at Shark and the Guide skin solid.

For a simple check I made 4 cross sections on an Ellipse

01: The cross sections and Ellipse for Guide.
02: The solid created
03: I trimmed off a section. Copied the edges for a check.
04: A view of the section edges.

Would this be deemed as correct :D

EDIT:
After changing the Ellipse to a Int-spline the result was better, however, the cross section had decreased in size on the width by over 10% on the section I made

Hi Steve,

I believe this is updated in 838 if you were to regen the part. (force regen in concept explorer via right click).

Hello Tim,

As I currently only use the demo of shark (for verification of any problems I find in pro) I will need to download the latest build to verify.

Will any changes be made to the guide skin surfaces which currently give the same bad output as shown above? If yes, then will those optimizations be added to the pro version?

EDIT


After a few checks I see very little improvement (and that is only on the guide skin solid, the guide skin surface as no improvement at all). Is it a case that Acis is not capable of this type of (which should be very simple) construction?
