SHOE DESIGN AND VISUALIZATION WITH RHINOCEROS<br />
2 Use the Sweep2 comm<strong>and</strong> to create the<br />
surface. (Surface menu: Sweep 2 Rails)<br />
Select the 3-D sole curve <strong>and</strong> the topline<br />
curve as the rails, <strong>and</strong> the vamp <strong>and</strong> heel<br />
curves as the cross-section curves.<br />
3 In the Sweep2 dialog box, select the<br />
Closed sweep check box.<br />
Improving the surface input<br />
The quality of the generated surface is not particularly good due to the limited geometry<br />
information. Therefore, we are going to create another surface with better information. To<br />
guide the surface over the central part of the upper more accurately, we will draw<br />
additional cross-section curves.<br />
To improve the last surface<br />
1 Create a Last surface 2 layer, <strong>and</strong> set it as the current layer. (Edit menu: Layers ><br />
Edit Layers)<br />
2 In the Right viewport, select the surface<br />
<strong>and</strong> use the Section comm<strong>and</strong> to draw<br />
section curves, drawing a vertical line near<br />
the ankle area. (Curve menu: Curve From<br />
Objects > Section)<br />
Start the section line below the upper<br />
surface <strong>and</strong> end it above the upper<br />
surface. Use Ortho to guide the section<br />
line vertically.<br />
