Surface Mastery Part 11 - What Does Tangency Weight Actually Do? | How To Use Tangency Weight

In this video we are going to tackle a subscribers question asking about tangency weight. This is a tricky one because like other settings it only works in certain cases. So we are going to first look at a sketch, then a simple loft and a more complex one to try and understand what the setting does, before looking at a case where it does nothing at all.

Wow, thank you so much for answering my question! Beyond perfect explanation. The bit about the rails overriding the tangency weight explains why sometimes tangency weight didn't seem to do anything. It's also super clear to me now why the tangency weight was only working with numbers in the low single digits. I've taken probably two dozen Fusion 360 courses through Autodesk, and watched hundreds and hundreds of hours worth of youtube videos, and I can honestly say your channel is one of the absolute best resources I've found. Without a doubt, it's the best resource for surface and form tools I've found.

Totally explained tangency weight. The introduction with the sketch splines was super helpful to understand tangency weight in lofts.

I cant believe I had missed the smooth constraint. This series has been great learned so much about how everything works, before I would just click different options and go with what looked best but had no real idea the reason they looked the way they did.
