You can create a single patch from several adjacent patches.


Before you begin: Open a 3DShape containing a cluster of topologically contiguous patches.
  1. From the Surface section of the action bar, click Patch from Patches .
  2. Select Surface.1 to .3.
    After selecting the first surface, a warning appears.
  3. Close the warning window with OK and change the tolerances set on the Topology tab.
  4. Select the third surface and terminate the selection.
    The calculated corner points are now displayed.

  5. Select the vertex of the first surface as Corner 1.
    The U+V Direction of the created patch is displayed.

  6. Select the other corner points and click OK.
