Right-click on a Power Surface to open the context menu. The top of the context menu displays the type of the surface, its name, and the level on which it lies.
The context menu contains basic options to cut and paste, select, blank and unblank, and rename objects, and specify the type of graphical handles displayed. It also contains the following surface/surface curve-specific options:
-
Convert Surface — Converts a primitive surface, or a surface created from
BCP or NURBS surface curves, to a Power Surface.
Tip: A power surface has a variety of editing functionality that is not available for BCPs or NURBS.
-
Define/Edit Morph
-
Convert to wireframe — A composite curve is created from the selected curve.
-
Edit as Bezier/g2/Bspline Curve
-
Edit Tangent Angles — This displays theTangent Editor dialog, which allows you to edit the tangent directions and magnitudes of curves.
-
Free Magnitudes — This is the same as clicking Free on the
Tangent Editor dialog. Tangent magnitudes are freed through selected points along the selected surface curve. If no points are selected, the whole curve is freed.
-
Free Tangents and Magnitudes — This is the same as clicking
Free
on the
Tangent Editor dialog. The tangent directions and magnitudes are freed through selected points along the selected curve. If no points are selected, the whole curve is freed.
