Try out the movie. I join the surfaces and they truncate. Everything before and after is on superfine resolution.

Does everybody see this?

I see an effect on the curves, but I can't make out what you're actually doing in the video.

We need more info. It seems you are joining lines rather than surfaces from the video.

Joining lines has the effect of truncating the lines especially when converted to polylines.

First I mirrored a surface. Then I joined the surface on the right to the one on the left.

I know the problems with curves, I was just surprised by this.

Can you share your surface?

I've seen something similar with solids. I just degrade the resolution and then change it back. It fixes that bug that way.

Try this technique: create the surface you desire but larger than you need, then using a set of curves that create the shape you want, extrude the curves such that they intersect within the boundary of the surface(s) that you want. Cut away the extraneous surface and hide the extruded "cutting" surface. This has worked for me numerous times in Shark, Pro-E Wildfire (old), Solidworks, Rhino, Alias.

If that makes a good surface, that is what I should have done. I already had all the geometry so it would have been very little work.

Thanks for the idea.

One of the things that I love about Shark is that it allows me be be creative and manipulate the forms as I am designing. Where I think I usually get in trouble is I continue to use these derived forms too long. I think I make the software struggle to hold it all together, and eventually it cannot do it.
