PLANESURF (Command)

Creates a planar surface.

Access Methods

Tool Sets: Modeling tab > Surface panel > Surface drop-down > Planar Surface.

Menu: Draw > 3D Modeling > Surfaces > Planar.

Summary

You can create a planar surface by selecting closed objects or by specifying the opposite corners of a rectangular surface. Supports pick-first selection and generates a planar surface out of a closed profile. When you specify the corners of the surface through the command, the surface is created parallel to the work plane.

The SURFU and SURFV system variables control the number of lines displayed on the surface.

List of Prompts

The following prompts are displayed.

Specify first corner or [Object]: Specify the first point for the planar surface

Specify other corner: Specify second point (other corner) for the planar surface

Object

Creates a planar or trimmed surface by object selection. You can select one closed object or multiple objects that form a closed area.

Similar to the REGION command, valid objects include: line, circle, arc, ellipse, elliptical arc, 2D polyline, planar 3D polyline, and planar spline.

The DELOBJ system variable controls whether the object(s) you select are automatically deleted when the surface is created or whether you are prompted to delete the object(s).
