  2. In the Concept Surface Creation Wizard, select Scenario 3 .
  3. Select a sketch or a section.

  1. Select a sketch or a section.
  2. From the context toolbar, click Concept Surface Acquisition .
A concept surface is created using Scenario 3 . Two points and a guide curve between the points are created.
  1. The first point is created at the origin of the axis system of the sketch or section.
  2. The second point is created with a distance of 100mm in normal direction of the sketch or section plane.

If a sketch is selected, two sections are automatically created at start and end of the concept surface.
