Te r m Definition
base surface A basic underlying surface that carries a shape across a larger area. Can be trimmed
to precise shapes as needed, but the base surface remains intact and may be
displayed.
logical surface area An area that can be described by a single surface.
projected wire A 2D line that represents an opening on a surface and trims a hole in the surface.
Can also be a 3D polyline that represents the extents of the opening in the
wireframe.
watertight Surfaces conform to the wireframe model; gaps between surfaces are within
allowable tolerances.
