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
|
