Create a Surface Form

Create a surface form from a line or geometry edge.

In the conceptual design environment, surfaces are created from open lines or edges, rather than from closed profiles.

  1. Select a model line, reference line, or geometry edge in the drawing area.
  2. Click Modify | Lines tab Form panel (Create Form). The line or edge will extrude as a surface.
Note: On the Options Bar, select Make surface from closed loops while sketching closed 2D geometry to automatically make surface forms.
