Collar Surfaces

 

The collar surfaces are the regions that separates the exterior from the interior of the shoe.

 These regions are printed in closed surface to ensure structural integrity for the shoes during their lifespan.

 

Collar Surfaces can include multiple surfaces, when extra holes exists between exterior and interior of the shoe. 

Collar Surfaces Requirements:

  • Surface(s) should not be watertight 
  • Surface(s) should split the shoe in 2 parts (exterior & interior)
  • Surface(s) mesh faces should be a copy of shoe faces, having same polygons. 

 

SPECIAL CASE - FLIPFLOP 

Flipflops always expect 1 or more surfaces for collar:

Similar to slide construction, the collar surfaces separate the shoe exterior from interior. the surface should join in the direction of the footbed, stopping just above the footbed. 

  • Depending where it is connected, traps can have mesh or be fully closed. 
  • Update allows straps that join with footbed (no hole/cookie)

 

FEEDBACK STLs

Autocheck exports different STLs for: 

  1. Mismatch faces from shoe STL:
    • right_collar_surface_faces.stl
    • left_collar_surface_faces.stl
  2. Number of objects shoe can be split, that is different from 2. 
    • right_collar_surfaces_mesh_1,  right_collar_surfaces_mesh_2, right_collar_surfaces_mesh_3
    • left_collar_surfaces_mesh_1,  left_collar_surfaces_mesh_2, left_collar_surfaces_mesh_3
