Create a surface by
patching a closed surface or curve.
Use SURFPATCH to create a
surface inside a closed curve (such as a closed spline) that is
another surface’s edge. You can also draw a guide curve to constrain
the shape of the patch surface with the constrain geometry option. When
you patch surfaces, specify the continuity and bulge magnitude.
To patch the top of a closed
surface
In the drawing area,
select a surface edge subobject.
Specify the continuity and bulge magnitude
and press Enter.
Commands 3DOSNAP
Sets the object snap
modes for 3D objects.
LIST
Displays property data
for selected objects.
MEASUREGEOM
Measures the distance,
radius, angle, area, and volume of selected objects or sequence
of points.
SURFPATCH
Creates a new surface
by fitting a cap over a surface edge that forms a closed loop.
UCS
Manages user coordinate
systems.
VISUALSTYLES
Creates and modifies
visual styles and applies a visual style to a viewport.
System Variables 3DOSMODE
Controls the settings
for the 3D object snaps.
CULLINGOBJ
Controls whether 3D
subobjects that are hidden from view can be highlighted or selected.
CULLINGOBJSELECTION
Controls whether 3D
objects that are hidden from view can be highlighted or selected.
DELOBJ
Controls
whether geometry used to create 3D objects is retained or deleted.
SUBOBJSELECTIONMODE
Filters whether faces,
edges, vertices or solid history subobjects are highlighted when
you roll over them.
SURFACEASSOCIATIVITY
Controls whether surfaces
maintain a relationship with the objects from which they were created.
