rbfSrf node

Go to: Related nodes. Attributes.

The 'rbfSrf' node computes the circular ( rolling ball ) fillet given two NURBS surface and radii of the fillet. It may also be used to compute the curve on surfaces on the two input surface using the output attributes 'trimCurveOnPrimary', 'trimCurveOnSecondary`. The curve on surfaces are intersection tracks between the computed fillet and the two input surfaces respectively.

The surface fillet can be computed to user specified position and tangent tolerance using the attributes 'positionTolerance' and 'tangentTolerance' respectively.
