 Properties Inspector. Modifies properties for both the surface objects and

their subobjects after they are created. For example, you can change the

number of isolines in the U and V directions.

Create Procedural Surfaces

Create procedural surfaces by blending, patching, and offsetting existing

surfaces or by converting 3D solids, meshes and other planar geometry.

Create Surfaces from Other Surfaces

There are many ways to create procedural surfaces from existing surfaces.

These include blending, patching, and offsetting or creating network and

planar surfaces.

When you create procedural surfaces, use SURFACEASSOCIATIVITY to work

with the surfaces as a group. Just as you can modify the face of a solid and

have the entire solid update, when you modify a group of surfaces that are

associative, all of the surfaces update accordingly.

Create Planar Surfaces

Create planar surfaces in the space between edge subobjects, splines and other

2D and 3D curves.

Create planar surfaces with the PLANESURF command Planar surfaces can be

created from multiple closed objects and the curves can be surface or solid

edge subobjects. During creation, specify the tangency and bulge magnitude.
