The Surfaces
Swept Surfaces
Rail Surface tool operates in two main modes: Monorail and Birail:
|
As a monorail (with 1 rail curve and 1 generation curve) the two curves don't need to be touching. |
|
In Birail mode (2 rails and 1 or many generation curves) the curves must be touching at the corners. The inputs can only be single curves, edges or iso-curves, and the tool can only create a single surface patch. |

Swept Surfaces
Profile tool build surfaces from one rail and one or more profiles. Both rail and profiles can be made up of several curves. The rail and profiles do not have to touch.
