Primary Area

The primary area of the Edition section provides commands for editing curves and surfaces.

This page discusses:

Flyout for Modifying Shapes
Flyout for Matching Surfaces


	Converter Wizard Converts curves and surfaces into NUPBS curves and surfaces, and modifies their properties. See Approximating and Segmenting Procedural Curves. Approximating and Segmenting Procedural Surfaces
	Control Points See Flyout for Modifying Shapes
	Styling Extrapolate Increases or decreases the length of a curve or surface boundary. See Extrapolating Curves. Extrapolating Surfaces This command is only available in FreeStyle Shape Design.
	Extend Makes a curve longer by extending one or both of its end points. Makes a surface bigger or smaller by extending its boundaries. See Extending Shapes.
	Break Curve Trims a curve into two or more parts by using any combination of points, curves, planes, and surfaces. See Breaking Curves. This command is only available in FreeStyle Shape Design.
	Break Surface Trims a surface into two or more parts by using any combination of curves, planes, and surfaces. See Breaking Surfaces. This command is only available in FreeStyle Shape Design.
	Matching Constraint Connects surfaces using a range of continuity constraints. See Creating a Matching Constraint. This command is only available in FreeStyle Shape Design.
	Match Surface See Flyout for Matching Surfaces
	Match Curve Matches a curve with another curve, a point on a curve, or a 3D point. See Matching Curves.
	Fit to Geometry Fits a curve or a datum surface to other geometry. See Fitting a Shape to Other Geometry.
	Untrim Restores the trimmed curve or surface to its original shape. See Restoring a Surface or Curve.
	Disassemble Disassembles multi-cell curves or surfaces into mono-cell, or mono-domain curves or surfaces. See Disassembling Shapes.
	Join Assemble adjacent curves or surfaces to one element.

Flyout for Modifying Shapes


	Control Points Modifies a curve or a surface by manipulating control points. See Using Control Points.
	Global Deformation Deforms several surfaces in a single operation using an intermediate patch or a handle. See Deforming Multiple Surfaces Using Control Points.

Flyout for Matching Surfaces


	Match Surface Matches a surface with another surface or curve. See Matching Surfaces.
	Multi-Side Match Surface Matches a mono-cell non-relimited surface to two to four surfaces. See Multi-Side Matching. This command is only available in FreeStyle Shape Design.
