The Mesh features are available from the Create>Mesh pull-down and palette submenus. A mesh visually simulates a two-, three-, or four-curve surface; a tabulated cylinder; a surface of revolution; a sphere or a ruled surface.

Entity Types for Mesh Creation

Mesh can be used as a debugging tool before you create a solid model of your wireframe model. When using the mesh functions, keep the following things in mind:

• Temporary meshes are displayed in the primary viewport. The final mesh is drawn in all viewports.

• A director curve determines the direction of the sweep. A generator curve is the contour that is swept along the director curve.

• Changing the current color attribute or level before creating a mesh can make mesh selection easier.

• The following topics are available. To view information specific to a particular topic, click on the appropriate link.
