Hi Mr Alcini, why do sometimes these constraints stop updating? and it needs us to re-apply the constraint to work? some work as expected and simultaneously some do not work and I find no difference between the two.
Hi Fardin, there is a way to force the constraints to "always" update by opening the dialog and turning on the auto-update icon but I do NOT recommend this setting. That's because if you have multiple matching constraints applied and make a change to one of them, it can have a globally devastating affect on the others, making it difficult to pick up the pieces. They are working as designed to give the user full control. So in a situation where you apply a match but it turns another one "red", check to see if you have diffusion turned on...this may be the cause because its deliberately forcing a change all along the surface. So your choices are 1) turn this option off, which means the diffusion will only affect the rows specified by your continuity input or 2) leave on, then RMB on the "red" constraint and do a local update. There is no right or wrong setting, I use them both depending on the situation.
Wow!!That iterative reversing the source and target in matching the constraints seems to be one of secrets of this tool. That will be great if you do a lesson for "Matching Constraints" tool ,maybe doing a fully G2 ball corner, may you please? if I don't want to go beyond degree 7 for the ball corner is the "Matching Constraints" tool capable of adding extra patches to the corner? Thanks so much.
Hi Fardin...Matching constraints can increase the order of a surface, whether its a single segment Bezier or multi-segment NURBS but cannot add segmentation (patches). In complex fillets, there's no reason not to increase the orders to 10 or 11 on a Bezier patch (use your discernment). The important thing is to make sure the surface remains smooth and without inflections.
@@GerardAlciniHi Mr Alcini. I hear that some very top CAD speakers from Alias don't tend to go beyond 7 or 8 control points for A class work, is this because of the CAD system they use or they have different work flow? Thank you so much.
@@fddesign First thing to check is that "Generic tools" is turned on. To verify; RMB over any of the commands to bring up the list of various toolbars.The license needed is FSS. If you have FS1, not sure if its included. Also, it was added in version V5_6R2018- earlier versions will not have it.
Thank you Gerard ! Amazing tips
My pleasure!

Is this available in Freestyle also?
Hi...actually, I totally forgot that it was added to Freestyle a couple releases back, so YES...and thanks for reminding me.
@@GerardAlcini Is there a similar fonction in 3DX also?
@@fddesign Yes! everything shown here is in 3DEXPERIENCE.
@@GerardAlcini I try to find it in Freestyle but it seems to be unavailable
