Advanced Surfaces

Reparameterized Trim

This surface-creation technique differs from standard surface trimming, in that it makes a new four (or three) sided untrimmed surface.

Tapered Offset

An offset surface is a surface that is offset parallel from a base surface by a given distance.

Draft

A drafted surface is a common surface built for the mold making industry.

Parting

This function allows you to create a parting surface to separate the part at that surface into two halves, thus creating a mold.

Constant Radius Fillet

The Constant Radius Fillet option can be used to automatically construct fillet surfaces.

Variable Radius Fillet

With this function, a spine curve is used to accurately control the creation of a fillet surface.

Bridge

A Bridge surface smoothly bridges the gap between two surfaces that are separated by some distance.
