Thanks. Your question as to the surface being complicated, led me to making a boundary blend using only 2 adjacent traces, which would seem to be a simple surface, yet is representing points making traces that are rotating abut a 7" radius. Same problem: won't offset the entire surface.
Since I can "boundary blend" and solidify the 5 traces seemingly OK, I am trying to understand if it is possible to offset that cut surface somehow in my cam block? One is supposed to be able to turn a solid surface into a "quilt" and then offset that quilt, but I get a "greyed-out" offset command when attempting that.
What is the "Import Data Doctor" all about? Is that applicable here to correct the quilt?
