Skins a surface along a series of profile curves.
Select Loft Options.
to set theCreates a planar (flat) surface within a boundary curve.
Select Planar Options.
to set theSweeps out a surface by revolving a profile curve around a pivot point.
Select Revolve Options.
to set theCreates a surface by sweeping between a series of profile curves along two path curves. The resulting surface can maintain continuity with other surfaces. The Birail Tool has options for sweeping 1, 2, or 3 (or more) cross sectional curves along the two path (rail) curves. The resulting surface is interpolated through the profile curves.
Select Birail Options.
to set theCreates a surface by sweeping a profile curve along a path curve.
Select Extrude Surfaces Options.
to set theCreates a surface by filling between boundary curves.
Select Boundary Options.
to set theCreates a four-sided surface by filling a region defined by four intersecting boundary curves. The resulting surface can maintain continuity with surrounding surfaces depending on the options set. In order for a square surface to be created, the four boundary curves must intersect, and you must select the curves in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction. You can ensure the curves intersect by snapping their end points to a common grid line, or by magnet snapping the end point of one curve to the end point of another.
Select Square Options.
to set theCreates beveled transition surfaces from a profile curve.
Select Bevel Surfaces Options.
to set theLets you create beveled transition surfaces with a much higher degree of control than regular Bevel.
Select Bevel Plus Options.
to set theCreates new surfaces from the selected NURBS patches.
Select Duplicate NURBS Patches Options.
to set theMakes the edges of surfaces tangent or curvature continuous.
Select Align Surfaces Options.
to set theJoins two surfaces together into a single surface.
Select Attach Surfaces Options.
to set theAttaches the selected curves or surfaces by reshaping their ends, rather than moving the objects.
Splits a surface into multiple surfaces at the selected isoparms.
Select Detach Surfaces Options.
to set theMoves the seam of a closed/periodic surface to the selected isoparm.
Converts a surface between open and closed/periodic.
Select Open/Close Surface Options.
to set theCreates curves on surface wherever two surfaces intersect.
Select Intersect Surfaces Options.
to set theCreates curves-on-surface by projecting a 3D curve onto a surface.
Select Project Curve on Surface Options.
to set theHides parts of the surface defined by curves-on-surface.
Select Trim Tool Options.
to set theUndoes the last trim or all trims to a surface.
Select Untrim Options.
to set theExtends an edge of a surface.

to set theAdds an edit point isoparm at the selected isoparm.
Select Insert Isoparms Options.
to set theCreates a copy of the selected surface, offset a certain distance.
Select Offset Surface Options.
to set theCreates rounded transition surfaces along the edges between existing surfaces.
Select Round Tool Options.
to set theLets you stitch points, edges, or surfaces together.
Creates a fillet surface (Fillet Blend Tool), a circular fillet surface (Circular Fillet), or a fillet surface with configurable bias (Freeform Fillet) between two existing surfaces.
Use this tool to sculpt NURBS, polygons, and subdivision surfaces.
For a description of the tool options, see Sculpt Geometry Tool Options.
Attaches a manipulator to the surface you click that lets you set the position and shape at arbitrary points on the surface.
Select Surface Editing Tool Options.
to set theTrims two surfaces to create the appearance of boolean operations.
Select NURBS Boolean Options.
to set thePerforms various operations on the selected surface.
Select Rebuild Surface Options.
to set theReverses or swaps the U and V directions of the selected surface.
