Working with Multi-Sections Surfaces

Multi-sections Surface lets you create a multi-sections surface by sweeping one or more section curves along an automatically computed or user-defined spine.

This task shows you how to:


Before you begin: Create a 3D shape containing several curves.

Create a Multi-Sections Surface

You can create a multisections surface by sweeping one or more section curves along the spine.

  1. Select one or more planar section curves.
    Important:
    • The curves must be continuous in point.
    • You need to have GS1 installed to create a multisections surface with more than two sections.
  2. Optional: Select a support surface for each of the extremity section curve.

    Note: The boundary must fully lie on the support. The support surfaces must not be parallel to the sections.

  3. Optional: In the Continuity list, select the continuity type for each support surface.
  4. Click Preview.
  5. Optional: Select one or more guide curves.
  6. Optional: Select the support for extremity guide curves and select the continuity type for each support surface.
  7. Click OK.
