Abstract
NN-sided hole filling plays an important role in vertex blending. To deal with the case that the corner is surrounded by rational surfaces (i.e. NURBS surfaces), an algorithm to fill nn-sided holes with εε- G1 continuous NURBS patches that interpolate the given boundary curves and approximate the given cross-boundary derivatives is presented based on Piegl’s method. The NURBS surfaces joining along inner or boundary curves have normal vectors that do not deviate more than the user-specified angular tolerance εε. The boundaries as well as cross-boundary derivatives can all be NURBS curves. No restrictions are imposed on the number of boundary curves, and the cross-boundary derivatives can be specified independently.
