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 />
