	Spine Creates spines normal to a list of ordered planes or planar curves. See Creating a Spine.

Wireframe Operations Container


	Intersection Creates wireframe geometry by intersecting elements. See Creating Intersections.
	Projection Creates geometry by projecting one or more elements onto a support. See Creating Projections.
	Parallel Curve Creates a curve parallel to a reference curve. See Creating Parallel Curves.

Surface Creation Container


	Extrude Creates an extruded surface by extruding a profile along a given direction. See Creating Extruded Surfaces.
	Revolve Creates a revolution surface by revolving a planar profile about an axis. See Creating Revolved Surfaces.
	Multi-Sections Surface Creates a multi-section surface by sweeping one or more section curves along an automatically computed or user-defined spine. See Working with Multi-Sections Surfaces.
	Fill Creates a fill surface between boundary segments. See Creating Fill Surfaces.
	Sweep Creates a swept surface by sweeping out a profile in planes normal to a spine curve. See Creating Swept Surfaces.
	Blend Creates a blended surface between two wireframe elements. See Creating Blended Surfaces.

Refine Container


	Edge Fillet Creates a radius fillet with a constant radius or variable radii. See Creating Edge Fillets.
	Shape Fillet Creates a shape fillet between two (bitangent fillet) or three (tritangent fillet) surfaces. See Creating Bitangent Shape Fillets.
	Chamfer Creates a chamfer by selecting two edges. See Creating Chamfers

Surface Operations Container


	Join Assemble adjacent curves or surfaces to one element. See Joining Curves or Surfaces.
	Split Splits a surface or wireframe element using a cutting element. See Splitting Geometry.
	Trim Trims two or more surface or wireframe elements by cutting each other mutually. See Trimming Geometry.

Extrapolations Container


	Offset Creates a surface that is offset from a reference surface. See Creating Offset Surfaces. Note: This command is available in the Generative Shape Design and Generative Wireframe and Surface apps.
	Extrapolate Extrapolates a surface at one or several boundaries or a curve. See Extrapolating Geometry.

Transformations Container


	Symmetry Transforms geometry using a mirror symmetry with respect to a reference plane, line, or point. See Performing a Symmetry on Geometry.
	Translate Translates point, line or surface elements along a vector. See Translating Geometry.
	Rotate Rotates geometry about an axis. See Rotating Geometry.

Extraction Container


	Extract Extracts a face or a surface edge. See Extracting Elements.
	Boundary Creates the boundary curve of a surface or the boundary point of a curve by selecting a surface edge or a surface. See Creating Boundaries.

Structure Container


	Body Inserts a new body into the 3D shape.
	Geometrical Set Inserts a geometrical set in the tree. See Managing Geometrical Sets.
	Ordered Geometrical Set Inserts an ordered geometrical set in the tree. See Managing Ordered geometric Sets
