Surfaces are a type of geometry that can be used to create solid features. Surface tools are available on the Surfaces toolbar.
You can use surfaces in the following ways:
- Select surface edges and vertices to use as a sweep guide curve
and path.
- Create a solid or cut feature by thickening a surface.
- Extrude a solid or cut feature with the end condition Up to Surface or Offset from Surface.
- Create a solid feature by thickening surfaces that have been
knit into a closed volume.
- Replace a face with a surface
