Creating Fill Surfaces

Fill lets you create fill surfaces between a number of boundary segments.


Before you begin: Open a 3D shape containing curves or surfaces edges.
  1. In the Outer Boundaries section, select curves or surface edges to form the outer closed boundary.
  2. Optional: In the Inner Boundaries section, select inner curves or surface edges to form the inner closed boundary.
  3. In the table containing the list of elements, you can:
    • Click to add a line at the end of the list.

    • Click to insert a line before the selected line.

    • Click to insert a line after the selected line.

    • Click to remove all the lines.
  4. Optional: Click Add Boundary to add a new boundary or click <cross icon> to remove the selected boundary.
  5. Optional: For both the sections, you can select a support surface for each curve or edge. In this case, the continuity will be kept between the fill surface and selected support surfaces.
    Note: You can define a support just after the selection of the curve or by clicking the curve in the list and selecting a support. To be able to select a support, the boundary must completely lie on the support.
  6. Click OK to create the fill surface.

    The surface (identified as Fill.xxx) is added to the tree.
