ABSTRACT

Edge surface An edge surface is a 3D polygon mesh stretched between four touching edges. The edges can be combinations of lines, arcs, polylines or splines but must form a closed loop.

The edge surface mesh is controlled by the system variables: a) SURFTAB1: the M facets in the direction of the first edge selected b) SURFTAB2: the N facets in the direction of the edges adjacent to the first selected edge

Three examples will be used to demonstrate the command, the first being in 2D, the second to allow us to use the editing features of a polygon mesh, and the third will use splines as the four touching edges.
