■ Revolved mesh. REVSURF creates a mesh that approximates a surface of
revolution by rotating a profile about a specified axis. A profile can consist
of lines, circles, arcs, ellipses, elliptical arcs, polylines, splines, closed
polylines, polygons, closed splines, and donuts.
■ Edge-defined mesh. EDGESURF creates a mesh approximating a Coons
surface patch mesh from four adjoining edges. A Coons surface patch mesh
is a bicubic surface that is interpolated between four adjoining edges (which
can be general space curves).
Create a Ruled Mesh
There are several methods for creating meshes.
With RULESURF, you create a mesh between two lines or curves. Use two
different objects to define the edges of the ruled mesh: lines, points, arcs,
circles, ellipses, elliptical arcs, 2D polylines, 3D polylines, or splines.
Both objects that are used as the “rails” of a ruled mesh must be either open
or closed. You can pair a point object with either an open or a closed object.
