Here is my attempt to create a Yuuzhan Vong (singleman fighter) spacecraft from the "New Jedi Order" series. This model was created in Spline Modeler. Does anyone know how to remove the imperfections on the cross-section of the model, or any way to smooth it out?

This is an interesting problem. Could you post the left hand side profile of the spline model? I've only encountered a problem similar to this when extruding something which has a very bizarre cross section and yours doesn't look too strange. Thanks, -Kixsupercool.gif

Here is the side view. Now I'm wondering if it maybe a Envolope problem...I'll upload the cross-section too.

Looking at the side view (above) this problem would workout realy great, if I was making an aluminum aircraft from World War II

Do you have the same number of points in each cross section?

This is very strange. If the file isn't too big and you don't mind, could you send it to me? -Kixsupercool.gif

ashley, I think keith has the right idea. If you do not have the same number of points in each cross section when you loft the model this can happen. Either adjust the cross sections or, after creating them, change modelers to the vertex modeler and "link" the extra vertexes from one cross section to a vertex on the neigboring cross section, creating a triangle. THis should remove the flaws... Come to think of it you might just want to hit "triangulate" in the vertex modeler and it should solve the problem. mike

You guys were right. Adding more points made the difference. There are still a few tiny, tiny flaws but nothing that will be noticable. Thanks
