Summary
You can also add an additional curve over the closed loop to constrain and
guide the patch surface.
When you create a patch surface, you can specify surface continuity and bulge
magnitude. If the
SURFACEASSOCIATIVITY (page 1452) system variable is set
to 1, associativity is maintained between the patch surface and the originating
edges or curves.
List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
Select
Surface Edges (page 1022) to patch or [Chain (page
1022)/
Curves (page 1022)] <CUrves>:
Surface Edges Selects individual surface edges and adds them to the selection
set.
Chain Selects contiguous edges of connected but separate surface objects.
Curves Selects curves rather than edges.
Select one or more closed surface edges (not the surface itself), a chain of edges,
or one or more curves. You cannot choose both edges and curves at the same
time.
List of Options
Once you have defined the surface edges to patch, the following options are
displayed.
