RULESURF
Creates a mesh that represents the surface between two lines or curves.
TABSURF
Creates a mesh from a line or curve that is swept along a straight path.
VISUALSTYLES (-VISUALSTYLES)
Creates and modifies visual styles and applies a visual style to a viewport.
System Variables
FACETRATIO
Controls the aspect ratio of faceting for cylindrical and conic solids.
MESHTYPE
Controls the type of mesh that is created by REVSURF, TABSURF, RULESURF
and EDGESURF.
PLINECONVERTMODE
Specifies the fit method used in converting splines to polylines.
PFACEVMAX
Sets the maximum number of vertices per face.
SURFTAB1
Sets the number of tabulations to be generated for the RULESURF and
TABSURF commands.
SURFTAB2
Sets the mesh density in the N direction for the REVSURF and EDGESURF
commands.
SURFTYPE
Controls the type of surface-fitting to be performed by the Smooth option
of the PEDIT command.
SURFU
Sets the surface density for PEDIT Smooth in the M direction and the U
isolines density on surface objects.
