Create Surfaces tool box

The tools in the Create Surfaces tool box are used to place or construct a free-form, helical, or offset surface, and to construct a surface by cross-sections, edges, skin, or by sweeping along two traces.

To

Select in Create Surfaces tool box

Construct a B-spline surface that is transformed between section elements, or elements of a network.

 
 
Construct Surface by Section or Network

Construct a B-spline surface that contains selected elements as edges.

 
 
Construct Surface by Edges

Place or construct a free-form B-spline surface.

 
 
Place Free-form Surface

Construct a B-spline surface by transforming one element (section) to a second element (section) as it is projected along a linear element (the trace).

 
 
Construct Skin Solid/Surface

Create a B-spline surface by sweeping one or two section profile curves along two trace curves.

 
 
Sweep Along Two Traces

Create a helical-shaped B-spline surface by sweeping a section profile curve along a pre-defined helix curve.

 
 
Construct Helical Surface

Construct a B-spline surface that is offset from another surface.

 
 
Offset Surface

Construct a planar B-spline surface with two data points.
