okay, now I got it. :D we have both options, "Adopt" and "Adapt" in Surface Matching, Align just has "adopt". Adopt in this case means we are taking over the parameter flow (= control point distribution) of the reference surface, while "adapt" also changes the amount of control points and spans to the number of the reference. Well, hard to explain that in one resp. two words, but we tried. ;) if you should have better suggestions, just let me know. :)
Have you ever heard of the phrase "Adopt a new technique"? The word "adopt" has several different meanings depending of the case you use it and corresponding words in the same sentence. Having that said, this word is properly used in the program.
Ha ha, Ok, got it ! You might want to use the term "Inherit" instead of "Adopt". Anyway : Great stuff. I find it odd to buy a surface modeling plugin for a surface modeling software, but it seems that you guys have managed to do a better job than the McNeel folks to manage those nasty surface junctions.
Okay, I guess you are referring to the matching options, but I'm not sure what you want to say with your statement? :) are you suggesting a renaming of that options?
From what I hear in the video, the option is spelled "Adopt", like in "I would like to adopt a child from Bengladesh". Being a matching option, I would guess that you meant "Adapt". That's all.
Actually Multi Blend *does* work on trim edges and partial edges, at least in general? If you should have an example where it is not the case, it is a bug. Can you please send the data to support at virtualshape . com? In case of a ball corner with four edges, please use the option "single surface" to get one surface instead of four. And if you think, the quality is not sufficient, please also send this example, we are always working on improving our tools! :-)
im trying out the demo and cant get multi blend to work properly. if you want to replicate the problem create a closed curve, extrude it to get a surface then apply multi blend to any edge .it wont work like it works on the video 2:0.7 . it works with cylinders but not with an extrude circle.
What exactly do you mean by "won't work"? Works fine here? It only doesn't work when you are using extrusions (_UseExtrusions) as input. Those you can't select. This special Rhino object type is not supported so far. When converting it to a normal object (_ConvertExtrusion) it should be fine. If not, please send your data example to support at virtualshape . com, and I will check what the problem is. Thanks...

Thanks for the compliments. Okay, will pass your suggestion on to the developer. ;)
Adopt : to choose or take as one's own.
Adapt : to make suitable to requirements or conditions
:)
Yes, G2 is supported at Mulit Blend!
PLEASE bring it back for Rhino 6!

where can i find demo or trial version for Rhino 5 or 6?

With the n-sided patch, is it possible to set any of the edges to G2 continuity?

does anyone know if there are any similar plugins to this that are currently available?
