SURFBLEND (Command)

Creates a continuous blend surface between two existing surfaces.

Access Methods

Button

 Toolbar: Modeling tool set Surfaces - Create tool group Surface Blend

 Menu: Draw 3D Modeling Surfaces Blend

Summary

When you blend two surfaces together, you specify surface continuity and bulge magnitude.

Set SURFACEASSOCIATIVITY to 1 to create a relationship between the blend surface and the originating curves.

List of Prompts

The following prompts are displayed.

Select Surface Edge

Selects an edge subobject or a surface or region (not the surface itself) as the first and second edges.

Chain

Selects contiguous, connected, edges.

Continuity

Measures how smoothly surfaces flow into each other. The default is G0. Select a value or use the grip to change the continuity.

Bulge Magnitude

Sets the roundness of the blend surface edge where it meets the originating surface. The default is 0.5. Valid values are between 0 and 1.
