Boundary Surface
The boundary surface feature lets you create surfaces that can be tangent
or curvature continuous in both directions (all sides of the surface).
In most cases, this delivers a higher quality result than the loft tool.
Consumer product designers and others who require high quality surfaces
with curvature continuity can use this tool.
Direction
1 and Direction 2 are fully
interchangeable in the PropertyManager. You achieve the same results whether
you select entities using Direction 1
or 2.
Examples of boundary surfaces:
|
|
|
|
Single curve to a point in one direction |
Three curves in directions 1 and
2 |

To change the display color of the surface
while you are editing it, use the System
Options - Colors page to edit the color for Temporary
Graphics, Shaded.
