Primary Area

The primary area of the Creation section provides commands for creating curves and surfaces.

This page discusses:



Point
See Flyout for Creating Wireframe Elements


Axis System
See Flyout for Creating an Axis System


3D Curve
Creates a 3D curve using control points, possibly on a support element.
See Creating Curves Using Control Points.


Isoparametric Curve
See Flyout for Creating Curves


Blend Curve
Creates a connecting curve between two curves.
See Creating Blend Curves.


Styling Corner
Joins two planar curves with a connecting curve.
See Creating Styling Corners.

This command is only available in FreeStyle Shape Design.



Unified Patch
See Flyout for Creating Patches

This command is only available in FreeStyle Shape Design.



Fill
See Flyout for Filling Spaces between Surfaces


Extrude Surface
Creates a surface by extruding a curve.
See Extruding Surfaces.


Offset
Creates a surface that is offset from a reference surface.
See Offsetting Surfaces.

This command is only available in FreeStyle Shape Design.



Net Surface
Creates a surface based on an existing set of curves.
See Creating a Net Surface.


Styling Sweep
Creates a surface by sweeping a profile along a curve.
See Creating a Styling Sweep.


Blend Surface
Creates a blended surface between two surfaces.
See Creating Blend Surfaces.


FSS Styling Fillet
Creates a styling fillet between two surfaces.
See Creating a Styling Fillet.

Flyout for Creating Wireframe Elements



Point
Creates a point.


Line
Creates a line.


Plane
Creates a plane.


Create Robot plane
Creates a plane corresponding to the Robot basis.
See Managing the Robot and Axes.


Circle
Creates circles and circular arcs.

Flyout for Creating an Axis System



Axis System
Defines a new three-axis system locally either by selecting geometry or by entering coordinates.
See Defining an Axis System


Create Axis System from Robot
Creates a new axis system in the work area.
See Create an Axis System using the Robot.

Flyout for Creating Curves



Isoparametric Curve
Creates an isoparametric curve on a surface.
See Creating Isoparametric Curves on Surfaces.

This command is only available in FreeStyle Shape Design.



Curve on Surface
Creates a curve on a surface, point by point, or as isoparametric or tangent curve.
See Creating Free Form Curves on Surfaces.


Project Curve
Projects a curve onto a surface.
See Projecting Curves.

This command is only available in FreeStyle Shape Design.

Flyout for Creating Patches



Unified Patch
Creates a patch from two, three, or four points, and allows projection as well as fitting of the patch on its support.
See Creating a Patch from Points.


Geometry Extraction
Creates a surface on an existing surface.
See Creating a Surface on an Existing Surface.

Flyout for Filling Spaces between Surfaces



Fill
Creates a fill surface between three or more elements that must be contiguous in one point.
See Creating Filling Surfaces.


FreeStyle Fill
Creates a fill surface between three or more associative elements that must be contiguous in one point.
See Creating Associative Fill Surfaces.
