Creating a Blended Surface

The Blend command lets you create a surface between two wireframe elements.

This task shows you how to:

Create a Blended Surface Between Curves
Create a Blended Surface Between Closed Contours

Create a Blended Surface Between Curves

In the 3D area, select two curves.
Refine your design by defining supports:
1. In the 3D area, select two supports.
2. Under Continuity, select a type.
  
  This parameter defines the continuity connection between the blended surface and the curves selected as input.
3. Select Trim first support or Trim second support to trim a support and assemble it to the blended surface.
  
  Note: Trimming a support is unavailable when you edit a blended surface after its creation.
Optional: Under Smooth parameters, define an angular threshold or a deviation.

Create a Blended Surface Between Closed Contours

In the 3D area, select two contours.
A preview of a twisted blended surface appears. For example:
By default, the command defines closing points by using existing vertex or by creating extremum points.
To avoid creating a twisted surface, define new closing points.
