Has anyone been trying out T-splines? If so, what do you think about them? It seems like T-splines and Rhino might make life a little easier for those generating "interesting" shapes. Of course, I really want it integrated in SW, but I'll take the Rhino to SW import for now if it looks good enough.

Yeah , i have tried it (for about 3 hours). but the conversion from a solidworks solid to a T-spline polysurface model was not easy.
But i am not very familiar with rhino yet. And i dont have the time (yet) to go to a deeper understanding.
I have tryed to push around a simple box. to a complex smooth shape, and that works very good.
I will probably buy the licence on what i have seen yet.
I will inform you and the group if i succeed in healing a solidworksmodel with T-splines.
best regards Bram

Thanks, Jon. (I can't believe I'm writing this!)
Reading a number of posts on the forum was quite helpful. I learned a couple of things of interest. One is that there don't exist (right now) tools for exactly matching a T-Spline shape to an existing shape. A second is that offsetting a T-Spline shape in Rhino doesn't yield a T-Spline shape and you can easily run into the usual problems, such as open edges. A third is that the T-Spline interface appears to be a step beyond the Rhino interface, which is already a long ways away from the SolidWorks interface. All in all, not too encouraging right now.
