Creating a Joint from Concept Surfaces

You can create a joint by creating connections between the section curves of two or multiple concept surfaces or free sections.

Before you begin: Open a 3DShape containing concept surfaces, for example as shown in the figure below.
  1. From the Concept section of the action bar, click Joint .
  2. Select the inner end sections of the concept surfaces and click Finish in the Joint Creation Wizard.
    A joint is created with three sections at the same position as the concept surface sections.
  3. Connect the section curves to create faces between them.
    1. Select a section curve.
    2. In the context toolbar, click Connect Section Domains , select the related curve of another joint section, and Click Ok when finished .
      A face of the type Guided Loft is created.
      Tip: If the face is twisted, select the section curve and click Reverse Section Domain in the context toolbar.
    3. Connect all pairs of section curves in the same way.
    4. Connect the three remaining section curves.
      A face of the type Fill Surface is created.
