Is this a bug of Hypermesh? Or some setting goes wrong? The smooth line and skin surface functions suddenly work improperly. They only capture two points of the node list in the smooth line case. And it only generates a surface cover some part of the line I used to make skin surface.

    are you sure the smooth lines are not segmented? When picking line list on skin panel is the whole segment highlighted? If not then you can combine segments by Geom>line edit>combine

    I recreated the problem on my end and it HyperWorks B)/emoticons/default_cool.png' title='B)' /> (version 2017.2.4).

    Thank you. I am sure they are intact lines.

    Try the following workaround: create a ruled surface (Geom>surfaces>ruled) and then mesh that surface.
