Flyout for Surface of Revolution



Surface of Revolution
Creates a surface by revolving a planar profile about an axis.
See Creating Surfaces of Revolution.


Helix
Creates helical surfaces from wireframe geometry.
See Creating Helical Surfaces.
Note: This command is available in the ICEM Shape Morphing app.

Flyout for Patch from ...



Patch From Curves
Creates a surface from 2 to 4 curves.
See Creating a Patch from Curves.


Patch from Patches
Creates a single patch from several adjacent patches.
See Creating a Patch from Patches.

Flyout for Flange and Fillet Flange



Flange
Creates a flange from a reference curve.
See Creating Flanges.


Fillet Flange

See Creating Fillet Flanges.

Flyout for Fillets



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


Advanced Fillet
Creates fillet surfaces between sets of surfaces and curves used as support elements.
See Creating Advanced Fillets.
Note: This command is available in the ICEM Shape Morphing app.


Tri-Tangent Fillet
