Surfaces Reconstruction Section: Primary Area

The primary area of the Surfaces Reconstruction section of the action bar provides commands for an automatic approach, a curves and surfaces network approach, and an untrimmed approach of surface reconstruction.

	Automatic Surface Creates automatically a surface from a mesh. See Creating a Surface Automatically from a Mesh.
	Tessellation Segmentation Recognizes and creates areas on a tessellated mesh, either automatically or manually. See Recognizing Areas by Tessellation Segmentation.
	Surfaces Network Creates a surfaces network from a curves network and a support mesh. See Creating a Surfaces Network.
	Mechanical Shape Wizard Mechanical Part Reconstruction. See Using the Mechanical Shape Wizard.
	Multi-sections Surface Creates a multi-sections surface based on section curves, and possibly guide curves, along a center curve. See Working with Multi-Sections Surfaces.
	Segmentation by Curvature Defines areas on a mesh along the curvatures or curvature radii. See Defining Areas by Curvature Segmentation.
	See Flyout for Recognizing Primitives
	Power Fit Creates a Power Fit featurized surface. See Creating Surfaces with Power Fit.
	Extrapolate Creates a surface by extrapolating one of its boundaries, or a curve at one of its endpoints. See Extrapolating 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.
	Join Assembles adjacent curves or surfaces into one element. See Joining Curves or Surfaces.
	Edge Fillet Creates a fillet on a surface edge. See Creating Edge Fillets.
	Deviation Analysis Analyzes the deviation between reference objects and objects to measure. See Performing a Deviation Analysis.
	Connect Checker Analysis Analyzes the connections between two curves or two surfaces. See Checking Connections Between Surfaces.

Flyout for Recoginizing Areas by Segmenting Meshes


	Segmentation by Curvature Defines areas on a mesh along the curvatures or curvature radii. See Defining Areas by Curvature Segmentation.
	Segmentation by Slope Performs a slope analysis to segment a cloud into several areas. See Defining Areas by Slope Segmentation.
	Interactive Segmentation Creates areas on a mesh by interactive segmentation. See Defining Areas by Interactive Segmentation.
	Segmentation by Color Creates areas on a cloud of points from a color-based space and colorimetric distance. See Defining Areas by Color Segmentation.

Flyout for Recognizing Primitives


	3D Primitive Recognition Recognizes 3D primitives (basic shapes) on meshes or clouds of points. See Creating 3D Primitives.
	Automatic 3D Primitive Recognition Recognizes automatically 3D primitives (basic shapes) on clouds of points. See Recognizing 3D Primitives (Automatic Generation).
