[ REQ 5550]: Ques. re. curves and surfaces

[sgupta at umbc.edu]

Hi

I was wondering if you could help me out with something.
I would like to know how to display general free-form surfaces in Geomview.

Right now I am displaying linear geometries using the .off formats.
For example, pipes with rectamgular cross-sections. If I bend this pipe
however, I get a non-linear segment within two straight segments.
Lets assume that the bent segment is circular. I would appreciate any
advice you could give me regarding the display of this geometry.

What do I do if I have combinations of linear, circulr and free-form surfaces?

Thanks a lot
