Why is G3 continuity only achievable between two edges?
Why is G3 continuity only achievable between two edges?
For example, curve 1/2/3, 4/5/6, 7/8/9, 10/11/12 are all G3 continuous. The center surface is built with G3 constraint on edge 5/2. Since curve 1/2/3, 4/5/6 are G3 already, how come edge 8/11…
