SURFNETWORK (Command)

Creates a surface in the space between several curves in the U and V directions (including surface and solid edge subobjects).

Access Methods

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

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

Summary

A network surface can be created between a network of curves or between the edges of other 3D surfaces or solids.

The surface will be dependent on the curves or edges from which it was created if the SURFACEASSOCIATIVITY system variable is set to 1.

List of Prompts

The following prompts display:

Select Curves or Surface Edges in the First Direction

Select a network of open curves, open surface edges, or region edges (not the surfaces or regions) for the U or V direction.

Select Curves or Surface Edges in the Second Direction

Select a network of open curves, open surface edges, or region edges (not the surfaces or regions) for the U or V direction.

Bulge Magnitude

Sets the roundness of the network surface edge where it meets the originating surface. Valid values are between 0 and 1. The default is 0.5. This option displays only if a lofting edge belongs to a 3D solid or surface (not a curve).
