When you create a patch surface, you can specify surface continuity and bulge
magnitude. If the
SURFACEASSOCIATIVITY (page 1498) 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 1057) to patch or [Chain (page
1057)/
Curves (page 1057)] <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.
Press Enter to accept the patch surface or [
Continuity (page
1057)/
Bulge Magnitude (page 1058)/Guides (page 1058)]:
Continuity Measures how smoothly surfaces flow into each other. The default
is G0. See Understand Surface Continuity and Bulge Magnitude. Select a value
or use the grip to change the continuity.
