Hi there,
I am currently making a front wheel cover of a motor bike. Whenever I tried to add some thickness of the polygonal geometry, some ugly edges will appear. Does anyone have any idea of how I could fix it?

Have you tried a Facet SOP with Post Compute Normals?

I still have this problem even I appended the facet sop ……
however, does anyone know how I can extract a curve from the Clipping edge when using the Clip sop?

Using groups you can isolate the “curve” from the clipping edge.
