Hi Will,
Thank you for your reply, I was not aware of that filter. I’ve now read a bit about it, and it might be a workable solution but I have a doubt on how to actually associate one line segment of the first ellipse to a line segment of the second.
If the two ellipses are almost “aligned” (I.e., they have the same angle of rotation on their plane), I could simply:
- Associate the segment that spans the angle 0-2*pi/20 of the first ellipse to the same angle-spanning segment of the second
- Associate the segment that spans the angle 2pi/20-4pi/20 of the first ellipse to the same angle-spanning segment of the second
- And so on…
But if the second ellipse is, for example, rotated 90+ degrees compared to the first, then this kind of association might break down as the generated surface could cross itself, although I’m not 100% sure of this as I have trouble visualizing in my head exactly what the outcome would be in this case…
I would love to be proven wrong of course. Or happy if you had any better suggestions on how to do the line-line association in a more intelligent way than what I thought…
Thank you.
Andrea.
