Surface creation commands

Video: Use surfacing commands in Modeling to close a pocket in a solid body

To create new surfaces, you can use the following Modeling commands.

Through Curves	Creates a body through multiple sections where the shape changes to pass through each section.
Through Curve Mesh	Creates a body through a mesh of sections in one direction, and guides in another direction, where the shape fits through the mesh of curves.
N-sided Surface	Creates a surface enclosed by a set of end-connected curves.
Trim Sheet	Trims off a portion of a sheet body using curves, faces, or a datum plane.
Trim and Extend	Trims or extends one or more surfaces using a set of tool objects composed of edges or surfaces.

Through Curve Mesh

Use the Through Curve Mesh to create a body through a mesh of sections in one direction, and guides in another direction, where the shape fits through the mesh of curves.

This command uses sets of primary curves and sets of cross curves to create a bi-cubic surface.

• Each set of curves must be contiguous.

• The sets of primary curves must be roughly parallel and the sets of cross curves must be roughly parallel.

• You can use a point instead of a curve for the first or last primary set.
