Wow, very intriguing scenario. I always have problems with tiny tolerances like that, especially on surfaces with two-dimensional curvature and higher degree (sometimes two-span as well). Especially in Rhino3D. Of course NX is a different beast and above great tool.
Yes, working with untrimmed Class A surfaces is not simple. Using X-Form for a direct surface creation can help understanding the prerequisites of sketch and curve based surfaces. It's the same with Rhino etc. The CAD system is secondary, 3D design skills are primary (-; Are u using NX as well next to Rhino?
@@Bizlearn_Siemens_NX_Training I've been using mainly Rhino and Inventor. I had installed a cracked version 11 of NX a few years ago and I loved the program, although it's got a pretty steep learning curve. Never tried it ever since, because it is quite expensive. Yes, in NX with X-form it is not quite possible (or is it?) to snap to vertex points of the polygon. In Rhino3D there are some tricks to do it ('SetXYZ' command). Is there a way to Set XYZ of a control polygon point in NX (copy from one and paste it to the other - that would solve the problem)? I love exploring double side curvature and especially corner blends with or without implied tangency (on symmetry plane). Also optimising the control points of the polygon. As Barry Kimbal says: "This is what separates the men from the boys!"
I believe it's possible. Thanks for the remark - it should be possible, once the Pole-Point-Filter was enabled. I haven't paid attention to the filter yet
@@Bizlearn_Siemens_NX_Training A few days ago, I asked other NX users, and someone told me that the NX2406 version has added an axial alignment feature that can solve this problem. I just tried the method you mentioned using the point filter, and it indeed works. I just needed to enable the filter function to capture the point. Thank you very much.

Very good informations!! Thank you! 🙏🏻
You're welcome. Thank you for the comment (-;
Excuse me, at 5:57, can't this pole snap to another pole? I remember Alias can snap poles together, right?
