Filled Surface - Enclosing an Open Area

Fill each side of the area enclosed between the base, the grip, and the exit nozzle using the Filled Surface tool. To manipulate the curvature of the surface, use a sketch point to constrain the curve. Constraint Curves allow you to add slope control to the patch.

  1. Click Back to display the model in profile.
  2. Click Filled Surface on the Surfaces tab.
  3. Right-click an edge and select Select Open Loop for Patch Boundaries in the PropertyManager.


    Select Open Loop finds all the edges in a closed loop, creating the surface fill.

  4. Under Edge settings:
    1. Select Tangent in Curvature Control.
    2. Select Apply to all edges.
    For another example, see Example of Multiple Curvature Control.
  5. Under Curvature Display, clear Mesh preview.
  6. Click in Constraint Curves , and select Pull Point1 in the flyout FeatureManager design tree.
  7. Under Options, select Fix up boundary.
  8. Click .
