Creates a mesh between four contiguous edges or curves.
Access Methods
Menu: Draw ➤ 3D Modeling ➤ Meshes ➤ Edge Mesh
Summary
Select four adjoining edges that define the mesh. The edges can be lines, arcs,
splines, or open polylines. The edges must touch at their endpoints to form
a single, closed loop.
You can select the four edges in any order. The first edge (SURFTAB1)
determines the M direction of the generated mesh, which extends from the
endpoint closest to the selection point to the other end. The two edges that
touch the first edge form the N edges (SURFTAB2) of the mesh.
The MESHTYPE system variable sets which type of mesh is created. Mesh
objects are created by default. Set the variable to 0 to create legacy polyface
or polygon mesh.
